OT- Miami(OH) is 29-0 and may miss the big dance if they lose the MAC tournament

The loss to UMass on a neutral is a really bad loss

42

Am I picking 2 to get in or 2 to eliminate?

ideally they would have at least made the MAC finals to secure an at large. Personally I still think you give them a 12 seed but I wouldn’t be shocked if they are left out

Since half do not want Miami O in and the other half does, give them a play-in game.
:wink:

Auburn nor Texas deserves a bid.

Only if Auburn wins the SEC tourney. Miami Ohio does not deserve a bid now either

People act like schools like Miami of Ohio can control their schedule. They don’t have the cash to buy games and bigger schools don’t want to play them.

29-1 is worthy. But gotta make room for 17-14 Texas who finished 1-4 including a ten point loss to Ole Miss

Wrong!!! Miami had an undefeated regular season and deserves a bid. As has been shown repeatedly, Miami tried to schedule quad one games, but were rebuffed at every turn. Auburn and Texas, however, have had a whole season of playing quad one games to earn their way in, and have not been able to. They do not deserve bids under any circumstances.

They should have won their tournament. Having two teams from that league is really silly while leaving out two bubble teams is just ridiculous.
Or better yet do away with the conference tournaments

Maybe Texas or Auburn should win their tournament, and then they wouldn’t have to worry about no bubble.

I’m perfectly fine leaving a SEC or Big10 bubble team out. Big12, not so much, we need the cash.

I wish they would put in a rule where a team has to be at minimum a 500 team in their league to qualify for an at large spot.

it is easy to say teams do not deserve to be in the tournament, but their are 37 at large teams and the bubble sucks. I agree auburn should not even be in the discussion. Indiana and others shouldn’t make it. But you have to have a 68 team field.

I went to the Miami OH @ UMass game a couple weeks ago and honestly didn’t think much of Miami OH.

Granted I’m used to Sampson teams.

Pretty sure there are less deserving teams in Div1

So punish someone because of where they came from and succeeded?

P4’s, regardless of how they became a P4, are born with a silver spoon in their mouths due to tv revenue and beat up on each other to get quad one wins.

Now the guy across the street finds a way to knock on the door folks want to hate and deny them an opportunity to earn the same wealth
