[QUOTE="Root4GT, post: 1004039, member: 5618"] It's all about the "metrics." As you know I am not a fan of all the computer modules, football more so than basketball. The NET rankings, which I am not a fan of, have Miss St at 31, A&M at 45 while Providence is 58 ans Seaton Hall is 67. This is the problem with "metric" based systems. Once the early NET rankings come out there is little anyone can do if the conference teams have mediocre NET rankings. There is no intentional bias by the committee. The tools they use have built in Bias. Remember, ESPN DOES NOT televise any NCAAT games so there is no money in it for them. CBS lost the SEC football contract so they have no incentive to favor the SEC. The Big 12 has had favorable NET rankings for years. The simple answer is for Conference teams to win games against teams with high NET rankings and not lose any games against teams with low NET rankings. GT did the ACC no favors this season hanging a Quad 3 loss on Clemson and low Quad 2 losses on UNC and Duke. Making cases for the last 4 in vs the first 4 out - they could be flipped and it would not make any difference. Probably could do it for the last 8 in and first 8 out. Very little difference in any of them. What seems odd to me is UCONN the overall #1 seed has what appears to be a very hard bracket. Two teams from last year's final four in the 8 teams on their half of the first round East bracket plus a very dangerous Auburn as a #4 seed. Tough bracket. I still put my money on UCONN! [/QUOTE]
