Regional projections from earlier today

_ Would this be a situation where they would have to vacate wins in the tournament at a later time? If that's the case, you'd sure hate them to get in in the first place. _

This would be a situation where the penalty phase would simply be delayed (until the 2012 season). The infractions were not committed in the 2011 season. Thus, there would be no reason to vacate any accomplishments this year. But justice should be swift and I believe that if they are guilty, they need to pay the penalty now.

Yeah, but the terms "swift justice" and "NCAA" do not belong in the same sentence!

Which is why I have said that I think ASU will be in the NCAA Tournament this season.

I wanted to amend the below to say that "The NCAA selection board for at-large teams does in fact begin with at-large candidates in the Top 75 RPI plus conference regular season champions."

Teams with RPI ranks above 75 have made the NCAA Tournament as at-large teams. These were all conference champions.

_ This is certainly not the case. The NCAA selection board for at-large teams does in fact begin with at-large candidates in the Top 75 RPI only. But the RPI is also used extensively throughout the selection process ... everything from national seed selection before at-large bids are awarded to selecting the last few at-large teams. I remember one year where the national seeds were the RPI teams ranked 1->8 save one team that was #9.


RPI needs to be taken out and shot.

_ tcu with the pigskin ended up as high as butler---2nd. _

Butler played for a National Title...TCU played for diddly squat. Rationalizing the BCS is like being Jack Kevorkian's publicist.
