Conference lost in the first round? I'd love to see the NCAA Selection comittee squirm over that.

The reasons given by the selection committee were, well,

stupid. 99% of the country couldn't name two Missiouri Valley Conference teams.
The question is what is the committee trying to do? Spread the money around, including more to the mid major conferences, or have more competitive games that will peak TV interest. They can't do both, which is why CBS was so pissed off.

Period. Of course I think they probably overdid it on the MVC, and there are some teams with a gripe, but FSU & MD have a line in front of them that have better complaints than them.
Both could've easily played there way in with probably only 1 more win. Neither one showed up, and thus they didn't get the bid.

No doubt, they have a legit complaint.

Though Air Force is the first on my list not to beling, and Cinci should be there instead.
My point was that the MVC played the game and dissected the RPI formula and discovered how to schedule their games to best build strong RPI's. The system needs to be reworked, but you can't really say the MVC teams are the only ones that might not belong there.

but with the number of teams from mid major schools. A few were deserving, but several were not. Especially with a handful of better teams from the power conferences.
It doesn't take a lot of digging to see there was an agenda on the committee to include more mid major teams. The Chairman all but said it on Sunday.

no one is claiming Clemson should've gotten a bid, but some folks think there were other at large teams more deserving than some of the MVC members that were selected.

prevents this poster from having any kind of rational discussion without taking advantage of any and every possible opportunity to make some kind of inflamatory remark about Clemson. It sure must suck to be him.

and if we're going to complain it would have to be Air Force getting in, all of the MVC teams deserved and probably one or two more MVC teams deserved it.
