[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 787985, member: 2299"] I don't think the committee has always done things this way, although I agree that Bracketologists are probably plugged in to the way things are going on more than I had believed. I think there are two reasons I was surprised. 1) I bought into the idea of the committee looking at extenuating circumstances more than I probably should have. To me, the first two games this year really stand out as outliers for us and I expected them to consider that if they were indeed looking at circumstances. It appears they didn't, or at least not for us. Maybe they really only focused on the middle of the year cases like clemson and oregon. 2) It's been a decade since I cared or looked much into the seeding process. IMO 10 years ago with this performance we don't get a 9 seed. I do think things have changed and that recent play is less heavily differentiated than play at the beginning of the year. So I thought bracketologists were likely to be wrong if we kept winning and we'd see a bigger jump. I compare it to the 2014 Uconn team. They were 21-9, 9-9 before their conference tournament run. Now they beat more ranked teams down the stretch for sure, but they also got a 3 seed. Now maybe I put too much stock in that late run in earning them that 3 seed but I do believe recent play was a bigger factor in years past. [/QUOTE]
