Sadly, yes. Unless there is a compelling reason for the little guy to get a spot at the big person's table, they won't get it. No matter what RPI projections say, San Diego will need to win out and get enough help that they look overwhelmingly right to sit in that seat. The same is true for western teams and the ACC. Last year, the ACC was able to turn the trick because they had an amazing conference RPI that carried the top two teams across the finish line. But that's not the case this year. When it comes to comparing San Diego with Stanford, the former gets the nod via statistics, but the latter wins for history and fan base. I'll go with the tree on that one. A few years back, the committee actually had a perfectly justifiable reason to drop BYU out of the Top 4. Their RPI was #5, their top OH recently tore her ACL, and they lost a match to a bubble team in the last match of the regular season. Further, it would've required zero bracket re-configuring to bump Texas up to #4 and award them the regional. But they still seeded BYU #4. top OH? Vjp in shambles reading this but yea all the rest agreed lmak
