The committee is bound to be a little different every year, because its membership changes. But major inconsistency is a disservice to all.
This committee rather clearly changed course on its criteria. I'd hope all of the teams affected by that knew in advance. Doubt they did.

Dance card missed 3.
had Temple, Miami, and Colorado St in
had UCLA, Dayton, and Boise out

The Miami, Dayton, and Boise ones are pretty clear not using the current RPI:
Boise- 51 to 40 and Dayton 47 to 32- he gets those 2. Miami the other way from 53 to 65 seems pretty obvious as well.

They've seen us play. If they haven't they shouldn't be making a comment. They are down playing us. That's OK. They tried that in November and December and look what happened.

Watching the "Bracketology" show on ESPN. They are almost universally picking against BE schools. I wouldn't hope its intentional, just a result of them not watching us play much.

CBSSN has a three hour show right now.

Do I have to look at Gottlieb's face?

Wow the selection committee hates Georgetown. They are actively trying to screw Georgetown over.

They give us E. Washington in Portland? If we're a 4 seed aren't we supposed to get Geographic protection? How do we have to play a team that's 5 hrs from the site and we have to fly across the country?!

Oh and they have the leading scorer in the country and shoot 39.6% from 3. Meanwhile we're 253rd in defending the 3. Ugh.

Add to that they over seed us as a 4 seed to make our humiliation even worse. f--- me.

Last year in the second round Creighton, despite being three seed had to play Baylor in San Antonio, TEXAS.

1. What did they change? For the most part it is entirely the same.

2. What teams were affected? With a 68 team tournament, nobody left out has a legit gripe. This isn't like 20 yrs ago when decent teams got snubbed.

No Gottlieb's face, but you have Wally on there that thinks Big East seeds are overrated.
