The list lacks a lot of big names, but there are a lot of really good mid-majors on there like NKU and Albany. I hope we can get some quality buy games this year. It could make a real difference in tournament seeding.
It won't affect tournament seeding as we saw this past year. Our RPI was 12 and received a 6 seed. The committee places the most weight on record vs top 50. However scheduling better buy games would provide a test to prepare us for the bigger games.

Unfortunately it is a moving target year to year. What mattered this year may not matter next year. Biggest issue with selection committee is the lack of consistency from year to year in terms of selection and seeding.

There is one consistent. They are continuously working on getting more schools in from major conferences. If a stat doesn't fit this agenda, it doesn't get used.

Isn't the committee using KenPom this year and using RPI less?

Good scheduling is all about increasing opportunity.
Last year we had just 6 chances at top 50 Kenpom wins

This year we could have :
WSU x 2
UCF X 2
Ucla
Florida
Xavier
Smu x 2


That's 9 just using the teams we know will be good.
Houston, temple, uconn and miss state could all be top 50 or top 100 at worse.

Basically at minimum adding 50% more chances at top 50 wins. And even more if other teams improve

Doesn't look like the committee cared much about KenPom. Wichita St. had the #8 KenPom, but got a 10-seed.

To be fair, they didn't beat anyone. I don't care what their kenpom is, gotta beat someone.should they have been a couple spots higher, yes, but they shouldn't have got above a 6 or 7 in my opinion.
I think the committee wants to get big programs in but I don't think that really effects us. Cincinnati isn't as big as it once was but it still is a national program. If we are good we will get a good seed

Anyone know how NKU is looking this upcoming season? We've talked about all the other big names on the schedule, but you have to figure we worked out a home-and-home or something with NKU. Although I'm a little surprised we haven't heard anything yet.

NKU was obviously pretty good last year, making the tournament with an 87 RPI and 138 KenPom. They're certainly a better play than some of the other cupcakes we'll be facing.
