If we turn out to be good our soft schedule is going to bite us in the butt based on this criteria.

They don’t care about anything other than money. They’re gambling that someone would want to watch a 15-15 (6-12) SEC team over a 25-5 (17-1) mid major.

I actually think the committee makeup would be favorable for non-P4s to get bids. The one that bites mid-major conference champions is the need to have a composite computer ranking above 125 to get the auto-bid. I would still like to see the computer rankings put more emphasis or double weight non-conference games and that would help with the cluster **** 15-15 programs from P4s who only have 5 conference wins in said conference from riding the coattails of the actual good teams in their conference.

I see this as good change for TU. I don't think its likely we win the conference and fail to receive a top 125 ranking. This gives TU a better chance to receive an at large since conference winners that are not in the top 125 won't be taking the bottom spots.

So based on the metrics being used, you guys believe we have a decent shot of finishing higher and being chosen over conference mates with similar conference records ? I don’t see it based solely on scheduling.

Maybe not with this year's schedule but I am assuming it will get better.

Why do those two particular conferences get special treatment?

Due to the realignment of the SEC and the Big 10. PAC 12 is a nothing burger now. That was an easy answer lol

Why not Big East? Why not Big 10? Any rhyme or reason to it?

ESPN basically owns the ACC and the SEC. NBC now has primary rights to the B1G and the other conferences like the Big East are basketball only and don't net them as much $ in the grand scheme of things. And while this decision impacts basketball, it is driven by football.

They expect all of the decent teams in those conferences to get the lions share of the NCAA tournament bids

The Big 12 is by far the best conference. Just my opinion.

Half of the top ten teams in the preseason poll play in the Big 12. Conference is loaded

 

[drboobay]

Looks like there is a new tournament with autobids for the b12, big 10 and big east.

I have an idea ! Let’s just make the NCAA tournament and not worry about it
