So what do you think of "allegedly" the only ranking system the NCAA uses as an official tool of the selection committee this year?

San Diego will win it!

:D

[WrenFGun]

..guess that's why Albany didn't get in? Not sure how UNH wasn't last team in looking at that, though.

I made the teams who had less than 7 D1 wins red as well just to show people why I continue to use 7 D1 wins as my benchmark in the How They Fared sheets. Assuming New Hampshire, as the lowest rated at-large team in the SRS, was the last team in the playoffs, then they followed the formula exactly. Every eligbile team with 7 D1 wins was taken until they ran out of at-large bids.

The first teams left out would have been Southeastern Louisiana, Duquesne, Albany, and Fordham.

Thanks Supe!

Although the flaw in that logic is that they took a 6 win ISUr squad. I do think that they'd prefer any 7 win team if the resumes are close to comparable. For instance, had WIU not **** the bed against SIU yesterday to get to 7-4 I think they would've been in the field before 6-5 ISUr even though ISUr had the head-to-head win.

You need to make Samford red. One of their 7 wins was against the annual SoCon non d1 opponent Mars Hill.

Edit: my mistake..you don't have any playoff teams red...crazy to think if they followed this exactly, Southern Utah with a 6-3 fcs record would have been in and Samford with a 6-3 fcs record would have been left out. It was Samfords better wins that got them in over the t-birds.

Had Montana shown up yesterday, and finished 7-4, they would have also had a claim at the playoffs.

They may have been the last team in....what makes you think they were not?

ISUr would not have been in. Too much money lost to NOT have UM host at least 1 game.

In a standard seeding format the weakest team in the NDSU quadrant should be the weakest team in the 24 team field. But who knows how they massage everything due to travel.

Agreed. Montana, Maine, WIU, and UNI all would have been in with a win yesterday IMO. All 4 lost.

It was a crazy day...in face the last two weeks were. Griz went from potentially 8-3, to 6-5....

I think you are right. The biggest giveaway had to be via Montana losing.

[ST_Lawson]

All we had to do was 1 more win....1 win the last three...against two teams that had been struggling for the first half of conference play and the last-place team in the conference...1 out of the three and we could have been in.

Ugh.

That is painful especially considering the way the SIU game played out. WIU was up 10 some time early in the 4th and I thought it was all but over. The turnaround happened so fast.

It really was a heartbreaker. We had that game...and then it all just went horribly wrong. I'm glad ISU was able to get in there, but it hurts knowing we were doing so well for the first part of the season and then completely fell apart at the end.

I'm not following.

You made the bolded statement, and then list four teams that fit the seven win threshold, but two 6 win teams made it in over them.
