[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 1005609, member: 2299"] Except you are using conference wide numbers as a whole which implies that the performance of Kentucky, or any other team that got in, somehow is reflective of the conference not deserving as many invites. However, Kentucky's performance is theirs alone. Just like UVA's complete bombing isn't a negative reflection on any team but them. That's why it is silly to look at things like conference totals and conference achievement, especially in the context of a single elimination tournament. Instead of looking at the conference as a whole, you should be looking at the teams actually relevant to the dynamic. From the SEC, Auburn, SCar, and UF shouldn't be lumped in with TAMU and MSU. I see no argument at all for leaving any of the former out. From the Big 12 there was those 3 but there is no reason to group Baylor, Texas Tech Kansas, and Texas in the same grouping as TCU. No, they are not all in the same bucket once you get past the top of the conference. Most of the top conference got one or two marginal teams in. SEC got Miss State with maybe TAMU in there was well. Big 12 got TCU. Big 10 got Northwestern. Pac 12 got Washington State and Oregon as an auto bid. The ACC got UVA and NCSU as an autobid. The big east is the conference that got screwed with none of their marginal teams in there. Yeah, Pitt thinks they should be in there. So does Oklahoma, Cinci, Ohio State, Utah, and a couple of Big east teams. Not to mention Indiana state. There will always be teams left out that feel they should have been in, because there is never going to be a clear and distinctive line right at where the committee needs to make one. But the ACC wasn't shut out of marginal bids, nor were a particularly high number of marginal bids the reason why the SEC and Big 12 had the most. [/QUOTE]
