i agree...i think when they shifted to weighting out of conference more it was generally good...it made the early season matter more and incentivized p5 to stop scheduling cream puffs etc...making every game matter more is generally good for all sports.

but i think the shift to shorter timelines (1 season now basically) for building teams as opposed to multiple seasons like 80s-90s etc means that the teams you see in november are now not going to be the teams you see in march [I]as the norm ...[/I]which was exacerbated by the flux of the portal.

perhaps a better way to do it would be to somehow escalate the weight of games as the season progresses...still give importance to early season games but give [I]more weight[/I] to feb and march etc...

in the end its hard to come up with something that is fair and works every season...

i think an escalated weighting system would be more representative of current strength and likelihood of doing well in the tourney than the current system which divvies up conference rankings (and subsequent team rankings) based on november and december, basically.

nothings gonna be perfect...always gonna be the virginia techs that win conf tourneys and bomb in the big dance...

but all we heard all season was how bad the acc was...why? because of nov and december...yeah they were bad in early season...but now have almost half of the elite eight...soo...idk...
