[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 787923, member: 274"] This reads like expectations were off then. The committee has never set the expectation that seeding would be based on NET or any two or three variables. It is more of a grouping methodology for discussion. Then they try to evaluate team sheets with all other factors included, including extenuating circumstances. There are a couple of outliers every year that are difficult to explain, and this year was more difficult than any other year. The seed lines were actually pretty close to what bracketologists projected based on prior committee precedent. So while there is no written methodology that folks are seeking, it's not like the committee picked names out of a hat. The ability to forecast relatively well this year suggests there is a somewhat predictable weighting of selection considerations and therefore outcomes. Having said all that, I recognize that GT fans are going to be particularly attuned to lack of black and white calculations and algorithms. It upsets other fanbases as it is, even though everyone has the opportunity to understand the rules of engagement going in. [/QUOTE]
