Do we even need a committee? There would still be hurt feelings if it was a formula, but I'm confident it wouldn't be any worse in terms of a draw, and I think it would be better.
No.
It's not a bad indicator though. They can't just add games to their schedule and if they added more cupcakes, their SOS would drop so winning an extra couple games might cost you. I doubt he meant that's the only measure, but we've won 19 the last 2 years and not made it, nor do I feel like we should have. And, likely this year 1 more win would've gotten us in, so it's in the ballpark.
Pretty condemning when the braketologist, who focus on interpreting the methods and standards used by the committee in the past, had WV on all 118 mocks (not sure of the actual #s and spitballing). Not surprised we didn't get in, but WV fans have a legit gripe.
I understand and I couldn’t figure out what I thought were strange brackets by the pros (because of UT and IU but never looked at WVU and UNC). It would likely take a deep dive into schedules and the algorithms to see why this occurred. I will take a quick look later but it would likely take substantial time.
Trust me, not even close to new to college ball. Just new to people/teams getting butt hurt because their teams weren’t actually worthy of making it in. And if you think IU performed well enough to make it into the tournament this year, you must be the “new” fan of this thinking. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if some tried to adjust their scheduled. I just hope it’s not IU.
