You would expect more maturity from a guy who just turned 25.

It's an Auburn player, so no.

NCAA postseason is just weird (both FB and BB), only major sports I know of where eligibility for the postseason for most teams is determined by committee instead of by winning.

I guess the alternative is tying it to placings in conferences though, which will just devolve into the same nonsense as the football playoffs.

Not all wins and losses are created equal. How hard is this to understand. One team plays a schedule of mostly quad 3/4 games and one plays a majority quad 1/2. I’m not even talking about drake or Oklahoma here. But cmon guys.

I wish I was as cool as Dickinson.

There's been times when KU looks like they're starting to really get going but they really just don't seem to have it.

Maybe their defense gets them a win or two in the tourney though.

They've certainly had better teams do worse.

I didn't say all wins and losses are equal, cmon guy.

Providence staff holds up signs for plays.
I just saw a "19."

I don't know if I've seen that before.

It's just a matter of time

Imagine using this to tell someone who's never watched football how serious and sophisticated it is.

You were saying it isn’t determined by winning, which it still is, but wins and losses across conferences aren’t equal. It’s essentially what you were saying. Cmon guy. Drakes schedule is buns, and yes they have won, that’s great, and i think they should be in, but it isn’t the same as the SEC, big 12, big ten, hell even ACC. There is a reason we have all these metrics to measure teams.

I like Creightons jerseys

Well unless UCF makes a BIG comeback with 12 minutes left against West Virginia we will be playing the winner of the Oklahoma St.-Cincy game who have to play each other Tuesday after just playing today.

Someone needs to tell Veesar that cupping **** doesn’t look good at all.

 

[BigJCy]

Valpo off to a good start vs. Bradley. Up 22-13

Maybe he should try it 100 more times.

 

[madguy30]

This KU/AZ game headed for a fun finish.

 

[rosshm16]

Arizona is settling for some really tough shots.

The reason we have metrics is too "blindly" pick bigger brands and punish smaller ones. Not all wins are created equal and not all losses are created equal you are right, but we've focused way to much on trying to equate losses to wins we forget that winning games actually matters.

The reason we have them is to make sure we aren’t punishing a team who plays a much harder schedule. Iowa State went 7-11 TJs first year in conference. Should we not have made it?

I'm still pissed about that f*cking Caleb Love shot.

Oklahoma has wins against Missouri, Arizona, Louisville, Michigan, Arkansas in quad 1. Better than any win that drake has all year.
