I think the problem is the RPI formula is flawed.

Here are 4 high RPI teams that did not get in (there are others, too):
NC State - 33
Clemson - 34
Wofford - 35
UTSA - 36

Had it gone strictly by RPI, these 4 get in (but at who’s expense?).

I’ve asked that question myself. It would eliminate a lot of controversy if they’d release the formula so it could be verified, then use it as you suggested. Sometimes it seems they look to Boyd Nations ISR’s (a more objective rating in my opinion) or the polls when picking sites and participants. It’s as if the ncaa doesn’t have confidence it’s own formula.

At these teams expense. # 50 GCU, # 48 UCLA, # 45 Tx Tech, # 41 Ark.

Grand Canyon for one

So are we NIT or CBI bound? When do we get a new coach?

I don’t think we would have made the baseball NIT

Possibly a #1 or 2 seed in the baseball CBI though

I’m rooting for ECU all the way. Not because they’re in our league. I’m rooting for them because they didn’t take every opportunity to act like a douchebag when they were kicking our ass. If it were Tulane or Memphis I’d be rooting for them to get killed.

Quick question: has SMU never had a baseball team. I thought they had one when I went to school.

Never mind. No, they didn’t.

It looks like SMU dropped BB in 1981. We played them last in 1980.

That’s why you can’t go by just RPI. Arkansas went 18-12 in the SEC. Clemson went 13-16 in the ACC (they just fired their head coach). If you went by RPI Clemson gets in to the tournament.
