No team may be given an at large birth with a below .500 conference record before the conference tournament.

No more 8th place big Xii team, more runner up horizon teams, 3rd place a-10 teams.

Unfortunately the Committee doesn’t care for your rules. I just posted several examples across 20 years to prove it. And there’s many more.

For a rule I want put in? Yes, they don't care about my imaginary rule. Good observation, I would venture a guess they don't even know my invisible friend either.

Actually, I agree with your rules but they don’t care that I do either.

But since I know you were trying to be smart, you found one school in twenty years that backs up your hypothesis, kind of.

The team with a top 50 to 60+ rpi and a .500 record getting an at large bid is a rare exception not the norm. Much more often 18 or 19 total wins are required for a 50+ RPI

Wins over Auburn, Clemson and SMU is definitive evidence WSU may be heading home again with their tails between their legs.

And losses against La Salle, George Washington, Tulane, UCF, and Memphis means that they’re not getting through Tulane, Houston, UCF, UCONN, and Tulsa unscathed.

Soon we'll rule the world and make it all right. Still better than the popularity contest in football we have to live with.

What? Who’s talking Top 50-60? 17-13 gets them right at RPI 46. 18-12 in the 30s

These guys don't like SMoo. lol

This...

As much as I would like Temple to go on a run, it won't happen. Frankly, the AAC and Temple would be better off if Temple didn't make a run. From what I am hearing now, Fran is gone...but a run might change that.

We've been over this before, it's called institutional control. Places like UNC and Louisville should look into it.

We don't cheat, we don't let our coaches cheat, period.

We have had 1 "major" infraction in all of our athletics history. For not having enough scholarship athletes in track. That's it.

You can talk about WSU/Temple all you want but your post was a direct quote and response to me talking about Temple losing their remaining “middling” games. Your response had nothing to do with what I was talking about. So you either can’t read, don’t know how to work a message board, or were trolling.
