Lunardi Projecting the Cajuns to be in Big Dance

Wonder if the committees take into consideration sicknesses in just a vital game and it's implications....I guess the real presence of the "what if".....comparison could be the qb in football say....again, playing without your best certainly effects a team's worthy judgement!!!

Head Scratchin on this one........Say again..

No.

What a joke. I figured as much with Oklahoma because of their hot start and having such a name that the NCAA can sell in Trey Young but I can't believe that Syracuse was included. It baffles me that they even came up for selection. The team that is getting screwed the most that nobody is referencing is Oklahoma State who beat OU and Kansas twice. I just don't get it.

Dick Vitale was all over Oklahoma State getting "screwed." Oklahoma State's RPI is at 88 right now. Non-conference SOS is at 295 per Warren Nolan. 5-12 in Group 1 games.

OU should still not be in the tournament.

The committee did not make it all about RPI. They clearly stated that they wanted to see who you beat. Had it been about RPI, MTSU would have been in the field as well as Louisville, St. Mary's etc..

295? The below link has Oklahoma State in the 60's. OSU also beat Kansas twice, Florida State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech etc.. OU and Syracuse got lucky.

Ok, then let's go with BPI. OSU BPI was at 57. Still not good enough for an at-large. OU and Cuse had better resumes than OSU, but none of these should have been in the tournament anyway.

Your link looks like it's a betting site.

USA Today references their 295 non-conference SOS. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...day/414183002/

Let's look at their OOC schedule
Pepperdine 5-26
Charlotte 5-23
Oral Roberts 8-20
Texas A&M 20-12
Pitt 8-24
Houston Baptist 3-25
Austin Peay 16-14
Mississippi Valley State 4-28
Wichita State 25-7
Florida State 20-11
Tulsa 19-12
UTRGV 13-17
Arkansas 23-11

Overall 169-232

You might need to check some of those records.
I don't think Arkansas had a 23-11 ooc record; looks more like over-all.

No I don't need to check them. That's the records of teams that OSU played out of conference, which would be used to calculate OSU's putrid non-conference SOS.

Okay. Re-read with glasses on! Makes sense! Thx.

NITwits.

That is double dipping.

RPI is already the cumulative data of who you did and didn't beat.

They made about one-off nights.

It's only part of it. The majority of the RPI is made up of SOS which ours lacked from the beginning and didn't get any help from teams we beat OOC.

SOS #209

SOS #209

I agree. That's why I was curious why you thought the NCAA screwed us over so bad? Honestly, as good of a season we had wins and losses, I didn't really think we would have done enough to get an at large anyhow. SOS, SOR, RPI and BPI were all just not going to cut it, especially when we saw what the selection committee's focus was on when making their final at large selections.
