Quote from one bubble coach: “But we know that our season is more than any one game, and we believe our 27-2 record and our multiple national statistical standings speak volumes. We belong in the NCAA tournament. The ball is in the committee's hands, and we hope they respect and acknowledge the mid-majors as much as they do the other conferences“ - Tom Hogan, Denver Head Coach after loss to South Dakota: Hogan has my vote 😍

Klink or Sgt. Schultz.

n00b I’m in agreeance that it’s disappointing how these teams with gaudy records schedule, but why on earth do you reward a team simply for scheduling? High Point didn’t beat anyone. I don’t see why High Point last year is better than Denver this year. High Point didn’t beat anybody and had much more chances than Denver. Denver had two chances this year — and beat one of them (St. Mary’s) while losing to Utah. Rewarding High Point for beating nobody while leaving Maryland out (who beat T25 teams Purdue and USC) was just such a huge error. North Texas was worse off last year than Denver because they had a worse RPI. Denver is in slight better RPI position. Because in a macro sense, the committee should be encouraging teams to schedule tough. Power 5s want to play teams like Denver and High Point for their nearly perfect conference records, so you need an incentive for those schools to play top 25 opponents. Otherwise, there will be no competition between those levels and picking at large bids between the two becomes even more muddled. It's the same reason why the volleyball RPI has a scheduling bonus which only applies to non-conference matches.

trojansc You have Duke in at RPI 48 and no significant losses. Don't you consider their last match loss to RPI 166 UNC to be significant? You think they are still good after that one because of the Pitt win?

Wouldn't be surprised if Kentucky moves up in seeding around 7 or 8 (like they did last year). They have been playing awesome. Alli Stumler is having a stellar freshman year. I'd consider her one of the top freshman right now.

Stanford would have been number 1 either way. There's been so many years where RPI has been a factor in seeding than not.

Yes, but do they still get a Top 4 seed? I think they should but I’m not on the committee weirder things have happened before. They say it every year, the committee looks at what you've done early and late... early looks good for really BYU... late doesn't. This loss and the RPI will kill them for a top 4 seed, methinks.
