This year feels every bit as bad, with 28 less teams.

The exception in my opinion would be the Missouri Valley since its tournament is a week early."<br /><br /><br />Actually, this is not true. The first committee meeting to discuss teams is either the Friday or Saturday before Selection Sunday. The games that have limited impact are the title games of the big conferences that happen late Saturday into Sunday, unless there is a "bid stealer" in play. Most of Sunday is spent piecing together the bracket per the rules and regulations. <br /><br />Part of the reason a few leagues moved their title games to Saturday is because they felt they were getting screwed by having a game while the selection committee was really wrapping things up.<br /><br />An interesting case to watch this season could be everyone's favorite conference here (the Big Ten, of course ;) )... their conference title game is Sunday at 3:30. Potentially, there may be a team in that game (Michigan, PSU, Minnesota, perhaps even Illinois) that will be either on the edge of the bubble or playing their way in.<br /><br />(I'm not including MSU in that group because odds are if they make the BT Title game, they will be safely in by that point.)mattlionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-22180195325779434072011-02-27T21:36:59.185-05:002011-02-27T21:36:59.185-05:00UNC has the home game against Duke for the ACC tit...UNC has the home game against Duke for the ACC title.

They are the 2nd rated conference in America.<br /><br />By contrast, the Pac10 is atrocious. Arizona, far and away the class of the conference, is a joke. The Cats wouldn't be in the top 4 in BigTen this year. They'd be under .500 in the Big East. <br /><br />There are 3 Big Ten teams and 10 Big East teams with better RPIs that the 2nd best Pac 10 team.Brian Reinthalerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565375642456529370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-26753594597718162782011-02-27T19:42:34.801-05:002011-02-27T19:42:34.801-05:00Well we can start with USC has a winning conferenc...Well we can start with USC has a winning conference record and PSU does not (both in down years for their conferences). <br /><br /><br />LMFAO. The Big Ten, despite a few teams not living up to preseason billing, are still #2 in conference RPI. The Pac-10 is 7th. The Big Ten will have 3 teams end up with #4 seeds or higher in the tournament, the Pac-10 will be lucky to end up with 1.<br /><br />USC's profile could end up being better than Penn State's, especially if PSU stumbles in their last 2 games. As of right now though, the committee would likely take a 15-12 team with a #6SOS as opposed to a 17-12 team with a #55SOS. Neither team is really anywhere near the bubble yet, though.mattlionnoreply@blogger.com
