I like the idea of the committee looking at more metrics based ranking systems. The arbitrary cut offs of top 25, 50, and 100 wins doesn't tell the whole story. If you have played and beaten team in the low 50's a couple times would be an obvious example. Our wins over Houston couldn't have been much worse than a win over a team in the high 40's. Another if, for instance, the teams around 50 is higher quality or lower quality year over year. Weighting actual rankings and win margins should be used. This way a win over a team ranked 49 is treated roughly the same as a win over a team ranked 51. In the grand scheme the team ranked 51 could actually be a better team than the one ranked 49...it could be a simple difference of a single last second full court shot made against them...in other words "luck" can play a bigger part in whether you are ranked either high 40's or low 50's. Arbitrary cutoffs are dumb IMO. |

I agree it is dumb. Id almost rather the committee develop its own standard Metric and rank teams accordingly and have it be updated daily. And then remove all stipulations in the tournament (you can play a team in your conference or a team you already played once in first round) and just take the human element out of seeding. |

I wanted to move this article from the 2017-2018 thread to the OOC thread..https://www.fanragsports.com/news/ci...-forget-games/
Thanks BearcatRip..Sounds like Florida game is going to for sure happen. I can't wait to see this matchup. OOC sits as... 1. Lessor opponent from the Cayman Classic 2. Lessor opponent from the Cayman Classic 3. UAB/Richmond/Wyoming? 4. Iowa (hopefully) 5. Florida 6. UCLA 7. Mississippi State 8. Xavier 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

The mid majors in that bracket are worth alone. Those are games we just wouldn't be able to afford as buy games. We basically can afford maybe 1 or 2 good buy games a year. Our fan base is a lot like a mostly football school where they basically don't show up until after January. So we can't buy those expensive teams
