NC State took it in

[missouridawg]

The *** today. St Johns, Oklahoma, Syracuse, Seton Hall.... all worse resumes but got in.

ACC earned three ...#1 Seeds

and 7 I believe got in...17e'm.

Looks to me like they beat 2 NCAAT teams all season, Auburn and Syracuse. Awful NC schedule. Hard to make a case from that.

Their non conference killed them. Ranked 353rd.

Dead last OOC schedule

There is one thing the committee has consistently done throughout the years, and that is punish teams with very weak OOC schedules. If you play a terrible OOC schedule, you’d better win a lot of conference games to secure your spot in the dance.

With a bloated 68-team tournament, I have trouble feeling any sympathy for any team that didn't get it.

I agree their OOC schedule was terrible but at least they went 500 in conference which produced 3 one seeds.

I believe if you can’t go 500 in conference play you shouldn’t get in. Oklahoma, Ohio state Minnesota St. John’s are a few.

I realize the big boys will always get in over smaller schools but the upsets are what make the first weekend of the tournament.

This just proves that the new NET rankings are absolutely just as worthless as everyone thought they would be. NC State had a #33 NET ranking, compared to #57 for Seton Hall. Should have been flat out impossible for them to be left out or for Seton Hall to be in. All the committee did was create a new and more confusing rating system that they are going to use on a completely arbitrary basis. There is still zero transparency with these selections, which is the main thing the NET was supposed to address.

Someone here gets it. Refreshing to see.

I agree. The committee completely ignored the new rankings. Which is probably just as well.
