CRecently, Shots Heard has spent a lot of time and effort detailing the corruption of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. We have detailed the inherent conflicts of interests of the committee and how that has led to systematic oppression of schools not in the loops.
Shots Heard has predominantly used BYU as an example, but the reality is that all schools that are not a part of the loop are trodden by the unfairness of the system.
Shots Heard has the solution to the problem. And we will point out that it is the solution and not just a solution. The solution is to just put the top 68 RPI teams into the tournament and to seed the teams according to their RPI ranking. The RPI measures performance and it properly regards strength of schedule.
The RPI has an immaterial margin of error as it is an amazing accurate ranking system. The variations in poll ranking relative to the RPI are man made errors. Shots Heard has detailed that the discrepancies perpetually relate to the media whores and 'big school' whores serving their own interests. The rankings are not at all valid corrections to the RPI.
(Below, you will see the listed RPIs from a week ago - Not the RPI listing used for this article.)
How will using the RPI restore sanity and fairness to the NCAA Tournament?
Teams would get the high seeds that they have earned (Take the 'selling out of it').
--BYU and SDSU would receive the number one seeds that they've earned. Please remember that RPI's will change after the conference tournaments. But at this point there is absolutely no doubt that they are worthy of 1 seeds. CBS projects that the committee whores will give BYU a 4 seed and SDSU a 2 seed. That is less than what they earned.
--Pittsburgh and Notre Dame are currently projected as one seeds, but really by the RPI Pitt is a two seed and Notre Dame is a three seed. Anybody that follows college basketball knows that that is entirely accurate. The media whores want Pitt and Notre Dame as number one seeds because they have been pimping the Big East as this master conference all season (And the Big East does have the best RPI, but it's still pretty much smoke and mirrors)
By giving Pittsburgh and Notre Dame opening round softball games (against weak 16 seeds from nowhere), they will ensure that those teams get opening victories and that the big markets tune in for longer (and that they get more money).
The best 68 teams would make the tournament.
Would the schools that end up 69, 70, 71, etc think that they were still worthy of making the tournament? Would they 69 look at 68 or even 62 and say 'I think we're better.' Of course. It is human nature to feel such a belief in one self. Nonetheless, they would still have to admit that it is fair and they would have to take their lumps.
The NCAA Tournament committee claims that they don't take prestige into the equation, but the truth of the matter is that they do. If New Mexico were to have an RPI of 49 and UCLA were to have an RPI of 71, the committee would look for any reason to justify UCLA's entrance and to deny New Mexico.
That is just not right. That decision is based on money and not fairness. The tournament will make more than enough money. Fairness needs to be a real priority and not something that is a lip service (non-value) value.
'Mid majors' would get their due (Stop canceling each other out)
--The committee is fond of pretending that top 25 'mid majors' are middle of the road teams and matching them up to try to erase solid mid majors from the tournament so that they can hopefully get 'major' teams and better ratings later in the tournament.
For instance, Utah has an RPI of 17 and George Mason has an RPI of 27. That would mean that Utah State should be a five seed (likely even a four seed if they win their conference tournament) and George Mason would be a seven seed. Predictably though, CBS bracketology has Utah State, an eight seed facing off against George Mason as a nine seed.
The committee wants to get rid of George Mason and Utah State ASAP and have as many 'major schools' make the later rounds as possible. And the committee hopes that the final extermination of Utah State or George Mason will come in the second round at the hands of a Kansas or Ohio State (teams that they should not be playing so early in the tournament in a fair system).
Cinerella is Cinderella, not who the media says they are.
If Utah State and George Mason were properly seeded, then they would not be considered Cinderella.
The Cinderella of Cinderellas would be Marquette. But Marquette is a Big East school! Nooooooo! Say it's not so! But they are (panting), a Big East school! Yes, Cinderella does not have to be the 'little school.' Cinderella happens to be the team that sucks. Write that down.
There would be no more automatic bids, but small schools would still be treated fairly
We have come to love watching the automatic bids for the conference tournament winners. But is it really fair for a better team to be excluded because some junior college level team won their conference tournament? Of course it is not so.
But excellent 'small schools' will still have an opportunity to rise above the ashes. And when they do, they will get the seed that they deserve. For instance, Harvard would get the nine seed that they have earned and not the 12 seed that the media whores (CBS projection) say that they should get.
There would not be an unwritten rule that 'small conferences' only will get one team into the tournament. That would mean that Harvard and Princeton would be in the NCAA Tournament this year! And yes, that is how it should be for this particular year.
A team like Old Dominion (RPI 23) would not be getting screwed over by the tournament committee. They would get a six seed. Instead, the committee plans on screwing them by giving them an eight seed and a match-up against UCLA, the second place Pac-10 team. If they win that match-up they'll get to play a one seed. That's not right.
Conference tournaments would still have great meaning
Also, if a 'small school' has an RPI of 75 heading into a conference tournament, then there would still be the drama of seeing if they can make that push for 68. Their performance relative to teams in other conference tournaments would still make for great drama.
There would be tougher match-ups and winning the tournament would have added meaning (and possibly even ratings)
Depending on the play-in match outcomes, the 16 seeds would be four of these eight schools:
Witchita State (23-8) - The second place team in the Missouri Valley Conference (They would not have to have won their conference tournament to get the seed that they deserve already).
UCF (18-10) - Eighth Place Conference USA team - What? The Conference USA is that good? I guess they just aren't 'major' enough for people to know that.
Oklahoma State (18-12) - They recently lost to Kansas by 12. What would you expect from a realistic 16 seed?
Virigina Tech (19-10) - Again, they are no that good, but they did beat Duke at home just a couple of weeks ago. They are certainly better than many of the 'small schools' that would lay down and die by 30 to a one seed.
California (17-13) - Look at this. All of the people that whine that their privileged 'major conference' deserves more teams; California would make the tournament with their 10-8 record against the weak Pac-10. They would likely lose by 14 points, but hey it beats 30. And certainly, there would be a realistic 'upset' opportunity that is almost non-existent in the current format.
Marquette (18-13) - The media has clamored for nine Big East teams. With the current batch of undeserving 'small schools' making the tournament it is quite likely that a worthy school like UTEP (RPI 60 - from a non 'major school') will be bumped in favor of the less deserving Marquette (RPI 66). This way, both deserving schools make the cut and get the seeding that they deserve.
Valparaiso (21-11) - Shots Heard honestly does not care about this team. But the media whores should not have the power to rob them of what they have earned at this point. They have an RPI of 67 so they make the cut. There was a segment on ESPN touting Colorado's accomplishments. 18-12 was a 'pass.' 8-8 in Big Twelve play was a 'pass.' 'The what have you done for me lately column (last 10 games) - 5-5 was laughably a 'pass' because we are supposed be in awe that they are in a 'tough conference.' 'Quality wins' was a pass for beating Kansas and Baylor (it somehow doesn't matter as much, the weak teams that they lost to).
Well here is real reality check Valparaiso has a 67 RPI and Colorado has a 78 RPI. In the fair system, Valparaiso gets 'the pass.' The ESPN whores are just sugar coating the fact that they want to pander to the Denver market / Big Twelve marke and not the who the hell cares about the Valparaiso market. The whores need to not have their hand in this anymore. It's pass/fail based on real results and some loud mouth a-hole on the air or d-bag on a committee gets no more say about it.
USC (18-13) - Right now they are not even a realistic bubble team. But if the tournament fairly recognized merit then they would be in (if results hold).
Also, Iona is RPI 69. They just lost their conference tournament and they know that they are not going to make the tournament? Why? Because they are not from a 'major conference?' That's BS. They should be watching the television rooting for others to lose and hope that their resume still cracks the top 68.
