Take the selection committee quiz

Ok, I am going to stop arguing for Iowa being in the tournament now (no I won't). I only got 2 out of 5 correct.

I bet we got the same 2. I thought the 2 I got right were obvious. I thought 2 of the 3 I got wrong were obvious. The last 1 could have gone either way.

But do they list the teams or just the ranking?

For instance, does the report they use just say a certain team beat #32 RPI on a neutral court, beat #44 RPI on the road and beat #9 RPI at home.

Go to that site listed in the OP, it has a sample document of what the committee is given.

4/5.....fairly easy to be accurate....completely ignore w/l, look at SoS and there you go.

Something the BCS misses on completely.

And I'm afraid, without 3 BTT wins, Iowa will be playing another home game.

Mid Major Criteria

1) How many power conference teams did you beat A) On The Road B) At Home.
2) How many power conference teams did you play.
2) RPI
3) SOS

Power Conference Teams

1) SOS
2) RPI
3) Road Performance
4) Top 50 W/L performance

To even be considered on the bubble, you need to meet a minimum requirement in each category, whatever that is..
 






A "Did You Know" from the bottom of the page.

  • Committee members are assigned to conferences for the purpose of monitoring a portion of Division I teams throughout the season.
  • There is no limit to the number of teams from a conference that can be selected for participation in the championship.
  • Until 3 or 4 p.m. Selection Sunday, the bracket sits empty. The committee doesn't care about match ups, coach mentor vs. protégé, etc.
  • Teams from the same conference cannot meet until a regional final unless nine or more teams from one league make this tournament.
  • This phrase sums the committee’s job up best: “Who You Play? Where You Play! When You Play! And How You Play!”
  • Teams seeded 65 through 68 will play in Dayton, Ohio, as part of the First Four.
  • The RPI is used, but it is just one of many factors that go into the process. A high ranking doesn’t guarantee a bid, just as a low ranking doesn’t preclude a team from getting one.
  • The committee will try to avoid a regular season rematch, particularly in the early rounds of the tournament.
  • More than 5,000 regular season games are played every year.
  • Any team that plays more than three regular season games in an arena cannot play in that arena during the tournament.
  • Past years, whether it was one year before or an entire tradition of winning, does not impact the current year’s value as an at-large candidate.
  • Directors of athletics and commissioners are not present in the room during discussions regarding the teams they represent.
  • A late season/conference tournament injury to a key contributor to a team could impact a team's seed, even if it doesn't affect its selection.
  • The committee does have the freedom to move a team one seed line up or down to assist in complying with our overall bracketing principles.
  • Teams seeded 1-5 have the best opportunity to be assigned to a nearby second round or third round site.
  • There are good losses. Competitive games against quality teams are considered good losses. While there’s no significance to a close win. A win is a win.

Yes, it is wrong. Look at where the link takes you. It is 2012 March Madness. You are looking at last year's committee. I did additional research and Hollis is on the committee and this is his 1st year.

That was dumb.

Thats not how the committee does it. It didn't even give all the same information for teach team let alone overall win less record, last ten games ect ect.
