14 of the sweet 16 are in Kenpom top 14

[Da_Bull]

At what point does the committee just use their ranking service to set the field of 68?

 

[sgrooms]

Are you using pre tourney rankings?

He hasn't made pre tourney rankings available yet but going back through the schedule all teams seemed to have been ranked top 14 after their conference tourneys.

I think Uk is actually 4-4

 

[wrbchWolfPack81]

Only because they left a bunch of teams in the NIT that would beat you. Belmont? Still pisses me off

Belmont proved they belonged.

Y'all are. And FSU is actually 5-4, not 5-3. Who knows what else is wrong.

Oh wow! One game off! The scandal

By losing in the first round?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

The scandal is Duke beating UCF.

Maryland would have run the Wolfpack out of the gym.

Uh-huh! Your team in the Sweet 16?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Uh-huh! Your team in the Sweet 16?

Maybe.

 

[Quavarius]

Maybe.

That means No. Thanks for playing!

To be fair, so did nearly anybody who just picked the highest seeded teams. There's literally two teams in this that aren't 1-4 seeds (and one of them is a 5)

Yup on point one and as it should be on point two.

We would have been had Tennessee chose to not make anymore shots after we sent it to overtime. I blame them.

You didn’t ask nice enough.

I shouldn't have to ask.....

14 of the sweet 16 were given 1,2,3,4 seedings by the committee because they also projected them as S16 worthy.

Chalk.

So KenPom actually got 15 of the 16 right for the Sweet Sixteen. The sole miss being Wisconsin.

Well, when things go chalk, all the ratings systems are going to look good. Net for instance went 14 of 16 and I’m Sagarin and any other algo prob did about the same.
