3 Ridiculous Bubble Teams In
1. Arkansas, 21-13 - The SEC sucks this year and Arkansas went 7-9 in their conference games. Who cares if the Razorbacks made it to their conference finals? Vandy is the only tourny team they beat, and they are a 3 point shooting streak team that isn't very good. What a dumb selection.
2. Stanford, 18-12 - Come on 18-12 in the overrated Pac 10? They have a couple of nice wins (UVA and Wazzu) but 18-12 just shouldn't be good enough. Hell Air Force got left despite going 23-8 and beating Stanford at Stanford by 34. They shouldn't be in.
3. Illinois, 23-11 - Haven't we fully established that the Big 10 is miserable this year? Was Illinois even better than Michigan this season? They split with the Wolverines and Indiana and didn't come close to beating Ohio St. or Wisconsin. They aren't a good team.
3 Snubbed Bubble Teams Out
1. Florida St., 20-12 - If you're going to put anyone in with 12 losses why Stanford over Florida St.? St. beat Florida non-conference, a #1 seed. They played in the best conference in America, and played road out of conference games versus Wisconsin and Pittsburgh, how can you fault them for losing those games. Their loss versus Clemson is the only loss of the 12 to a non-tourny team.
2. Syracuse, 22-10 - Won 6 of their last 8 and holds a terrific win in the past week over Georgetown who note to the committee hasn't lost to anyone but Syracuse in their last 16 games. G-Town is on fire and Syracuse was good enough to beat them. They also have wins against Marquette and Nova, but its the win last week versus the hottest team in the country which should have been rewarded.
3. Kansas St., 22-11 - Arkansas got dunked at home by Texas Tech and beat nobody. K St. just drubbed Tech in the Big 12 tourny. That equals of course the sensible Razorbacks in K St. out. K St. is the first team in the history of the tourny to finish 4th or better and 10-6 in a major conference and not make it. Add a win at Texas and the black and purple unis are much better than the Razorbacks.
Sorry to Drexel who I love, almost went their for undergrad, but you have way too many shitty losses. The win at Cuse and Nova is nice, although Nova isn't much of a road game 10 minutes down the road, but losses to Rider and William & Mary come on. You have some gripe, but you don't have a win over a team like Florida, G-Town or Texas.
