I could see the NCAA doing what they did last year (to try and limit the SEC in Omaha) and sliding Vandy to 1 and two of the others to 4 and 5 to get on the same side of the bracket.
Who knows

It’s very strange, every year there seems to be this UCLA, Oregon St, or Stanford team that’s the stand alone default #1 RPI no matter how strong the SEC is.

I think part of it is the fact that the west coast teams have much weaker SOS. Most teams try to play a big series every year. UCLA got lucky with Georgia Tech and East Carolina being good, but Stanford got Texas, who sucked, and Oregon State traveled to Arizona for their first 8 games. Playing 4 against Nebraska ended up being out.
But look at mid week games. No good teams are traveling and its all local, and the west coast sucks right now. Fullerton, Long Beach, Pepperdine...all historically good teams....they suck right now. While Georgia can play Georgia Tech three times and Clemson twice. Even playing teams like Texas State, Louisiana Tech, Georgia Southern are better midweek games than what is in the west.
It also doesnt help that the Pac is always 3-4 teams and no one else.
Basically, the west coast, midwest, and east coast get graded on a curve unlike the SEC, ACC, and Big 12.
Edit:Illinois had double digit Q1 wins and was around 20-22 in RPI before the Big 10 Tournament. If they would have won it, or have at least gotten far, they would have hosted, but they went 0-2 and are now 28th in RPI.
Its all about growing the game everywhere thats not the south.

THIS! A few years ago OSU was given the #1 seed with an RPI of 6 or something. Then the VERY NEXT year they gave it to UCLA who was also outside of the top 3 in RPI. WTF.
Thankfully the last three years the committee has given the #1 National seed to the team who was #1 in RPI.

#1 overall seed hasn’t won the title since Miami did it in 1999. Its not that big of a deal.

Tech getting shelled by UNC in the ACC title game

I think UNC was hosting win or lose today.

Oklahoma State winning two and North Carolina winning on solidifies what I said earlier.
1.UCLA vs 16.Miami
2.Vanderbilt vs 15.Oregon State
3.Miss State vs 14.North Carolina
4.Georgia vs 13.East Carolina
5.Arkansas vs 12.LSU
6.Georgia Tech vs 11.West Virginia
7.Oklahoma State vs 10.Stanford
8.Louisville vs 9.Texas Tech
11 Could be West Virginia or LSU.

Highly doubt ECU falls below us but we will see. Crazy they were the 5 seed going into the last weekend

What is so sad is not that long ago you were one of the few posters worth paying attention to.

They did exactly that. Lowest SEC team ever. Lowest finish in the division ever.

They’re not going to select RPI 22 ahead of RPI 15 from the same conference. Especially when one finished 5th in their division

Been here already. Keep up if you’re going to call out.

Bitch made. Backpedaling on your statements instead of being a man and admitting you were wrong.
