Humans are biased to events and performance that has occurred more recently in time. The NCAA selection committee is a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis. The heavy quant based metrics are really used to winnow down the pool of candidates. From there it’s all qualitative. In other words, you’d rather be playing well and building your resume after January than early in the season. Take a look at Michigan this year. They actually reached #1 early in the year. We now have a better record. Two ships moving in opposite directions. It will be interesting to compare us vs Michigan if we both end up close to the bubble. [/QUOTE]
