We already knew that. That's not telling us something we didn't already know. Do these committee heads think we're dumb fans or something? They didn't give concrete answers as to why they think UNC is more deserving over Indiana or Boise St. The West VA issue without DeVries is a fair one but at the end of the day, even they did more than UNC and their total body of work is better than UNC. I think the optics look very poor for UNC getting in over Indiana+West VA and possibly even Boise St

Well, you don't really need to be in the room to influence the decision.

Wow...what's with the love affair with North Carolina?
Yeesh. West region. Can't wait to see Mizzou/Drake and KU/Ark.
Would love to see a Panini vs Calamari special.

Name brand and AD was on the committee. Sad but every knowledgeable college fan and media personality knows this

Everyone in Iowa rejoicing when WVU was left out …
I don't know if it's the easiest, but I like the potential mathups, except maybe KY.
Florida and Louisville and IU are the teams that got hosed IMO... Memphis clearly the most overseeded team
They played a tough non conference schedule (and lost all their tough games except UCLA).
That was my number earlier in the damn week!
KY, TTU, WISCY (but we can't play them), Iowa State .... gimme Kentucky
Yep essentially a 5 LOL
I'm actually a little annoyed that Louisville got seeded an 8, because they were definitely my pick for "team that isn't good that got a huge boost from playing in a one-team conference" that I was going to pick their opponent to upset them. Now it's not even really an upset if they lose.
is the ky-troy thursday or friday?
8/18 is a royal big ten screw job. They had a good OOC and good parity. Hard to see how both Indiana and Ohio State get left out for Texas, UNC and Xavier.
