What was the Selection Committee Thinking

[NFL Poker Club]

I agree on a lot of the picks that were done and the seeding. A little questionable on Tennessee being picked a #2. BC or North Carolina came on in the end and could have taken that spot.

I can not believe that George Washington is a #8 seed. Just last week they were a top 10 ranked team. Yes they lost there conference tournament and had a weak non conference schedule but you mean to tell me they are not a top 20 team which deserves at least a 5 seed.

I think Kansas is justified as a 4 seed and is also coming in very hot lately. They will definitely be a contender next year.

2 teams that I thought were justified in getting in were Missouri St. and possibly Hofstra over George Mason. I know many of you are thinking HOFSTRA BUT they did beat George Mason 2 times in 10 days and George Mason got in.

I was surprised that Airforce and Utah St made it in.

Here is my upset special UW-Milwaukee beating Oklahoma. The way Oklahoma is playing I am not impressed.Them as a 6 seed vs George Washington an 8 seed.....doesnt make sense to me.

Sleeper team....Georgetown.

Good luck

Utah State was a suprise, but they aren't a bad at-large choice. They gave Nevada everything they could handle in the CCG. Air Force is an AWFUL selection, and so is Bradley.

Cincinatti, more than anyone else, was screwed. Michigan and Florida State can only blame themselves.

George Washington has only 2 losses, but they also have the #207 SOS in the country(losses to NCAA 10 seed NC State and a bad Temple team). Their only win over an NCAA tournament team is a 4 point win over Xavier. I have GW losing in the first round in my bracket. An 8 seed is generous if you ask me.

Syracuse's miracle run in the Big East tournament really impressed the selection committee. I'm glad they moved up to a 5 seed. Although beating them would be an upset, I look at all the 6 seeds and am thankful we don't have to play them(West Virginia, Indiana, Michigan State, Oklahoma).

Bucknell is a legitimate team who's earned a higher bid. It's too bad for them that they were paired with an underrated Arkansas team.

I still don't understand why the tourney committee puts so much weight on SOS out of conference. If we come from a tough conference and don't want to play tough games out of conference, we should be to play the cupcakes of the MVC, SWAC, and Colonial. They get a break when they get to conference play. The strength of schedule evens out, but it benefits them because they play the big conferences during the out of conference schedule and play the easy games in conference. I just don't see why the schedule isn't taken and weighted as a whole...

George Washington was seeded so low because Pops Mandsu-binso (or whatever the hell that dude's name is) is hurt & they aren't sure that he'll be back. I remember a few years back when I think it was Kenyon Martin was at Cincy & they were all set to a be a #1 seed. But he broke his leg in the conf. tourney & they dropped to something like a 4 seed. Same thing here.
