[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1278993, member: 7292"] Yeah, but in his example where you have two bubble teams (even if their records are not identical) and one makes it to Sunday, whereas the other loses in the first round of the BTT, the one who makes it to Sunday will have a big advantage indeed in the eyes of the committee. The BTT is actually more important for bubble teams than teams guaranteed to make the field, I think seeding is less influenced, especially in latter days. IIRC it was Bill Self who said that he did not care much about the BTT as it had not much influence on the seeding, if you were already in. But for bubble teams, I think the tournament is important.
