Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4221425, member: 5685"] So what can we go off of then to separate who gets in and who gets out? The NET rankings are biased toward mid majors. Bias is bias. I rather the bias be toward the teams that can make a run in the NCAAT. Even using the metrics how in the hell did Wyoming make the NCAAT? They might have the worst resume of all time. This isn't even a P5 thing as you could easily take Dayton over them. Wyoming Notable OOC Ws- at Washington in OT, Northern Iowa neutral by 2 points OOC Ls- at Zona by 29 points, Stanford neutral Conference Standings- MWC 4th place Record vs Top 3 in MWC- 2-4 (one in OT and both at home) Best road W- at 6th placed Fresno State NET ranking- 50th Pomeroy- 65th (barely ahead of SU) Dayton Notable OOC Ws- Miami neutral, Kansas neutral, Belmont neutral, VA Tech OOC Ls- UMass Lowell, Lipscomb, Austin Peay, at SMU, at Ole Miss Conference Standings- A10 tied 2nd place Record vs Top 2 in A10- 2-1 Best road W- at tied for 2nd place VCU NET ranking- 58th Pomeroy- 45th The A10 has done better recently in the NCAAT. Even without that benefit of the doubt, how is Wyoming more deserving than Dayton? Yes, Dayton stunk out of the gate those 1st three games. But they actually challenged themselves OOC. Those 4 Ws plus playing 2 other difficult OOC road games should more than make up for the 3 ugly Ls. When you compare Wyoming to Wake, UVA, A&M, etc it is even worse. You are ok with the randomness of a committee picking Wyoming? You need to base it off of something and the tie breaker should go to your conference affiliation. I can say the same thing for San Fran too. San Fran Notable OOC Ws- Davidson semi neutral, Towson neutral, UAB neutral, at Arizona State by 1 OOC Ls- Grand Canyon semi neutral, Loyola-Chicago neutral Conference Standings- 3rd place WCC 10-6 Record vs Top 2 in WCC- 0-5 Best road W- at 5th place BYU NET ranking- 22nd Pomeroy- 23rd They didn't challenge themselves OOC. They had 6 solid Ws and 2 poor Ls. That shouldn't be enough to get in. [/QUOTE]
