www.richkern.com/vb/rankings/rankw.asp?VBYear=2015&Div=DI&poll=Pablo&week=14-Nov+30&sort=team&avg=allAccording to the big P, the best teams left out of the tourney were: Colorado (34) Da Beach (37) Syracuse (40) Boise (42) Duke (48) Pitt (49) Creighton, as expected, was the lowest ranked seed (36). Colorado St. and Hawaii (12/13) are the highest-ranked unseeded teams. The teams with the lowest Pablos to get at-large bids were: Northern Iowa (78) Villanova (63) Marquette (62) Missouri St. (55) K State (47) TCU (44) I think this really shows how conference-based the RPI bias ends up being.

It's kind of bitterly amusing to me as a Husky fan that pablo says Nebraska and Washington are the #1 and #4 team, but the committee stuffed them together in the same regional. If pablo is correct, that's one round lower than where they should be matched up.
Since we had a thread on AVCA-seeded regional, here's a pure pablo-seeding:
1 Washington
16 Ohio State
9 PSU
8 Kansas
4 Nebraska
13 Hawaii
12 Colorado State
5 Minnesota
3 USC
14 Florida
11 UCLA
6 Wisconsin
2 Texas
15 Louisville
10 BYU
7 Stanford

The reason is simple. I'd much rather face Nebraska anywhere outside of Omaha than have to face them at home in a final four. Also, Washington is the best team in the tourney, in my opinion (statistically speaking), and have the best chance of beating them. Would you rather they met in the final in Omaha, as Pablo would have it? |

Also interesting is how close they come to a east on one side, west on the other with Texas schools and Ohio State being the exceptions. Was this on purpose? Also, B1G and Pac12 power schools mostly split, except for the weakest Pac12 school (UCLA) and the strongest B1G school (Nebraska, albeit by only 25 points). This seems like even more regionalization of the seed distribution than usual. Is it? |

Would you rather they met in the final in Omaha, as Pablo would have it? I have seen first-hand that playing in front of 15000 fans, most of them wearing your colors, can be a double-edged sword when it comes to the final four. Anyway, I would rather have the fairest draw and let things fall where they may. There is no guarantee that UW and Nebraska are going to meet up in the fourth round. The only certain matchups are those in the first round. |
