Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2095543, member: 199"] Yeah, there are a few really strange bubble team choices - but really, all the teams on the bubble that didn't get in controlled their own destiny and left it up to a committee. The one I find strangest is Northern Iowa - they have two good wins in the 1-50 range, but that they only add one more win in the 51-100 range and while they have a 52 RPI their SOS is 120 which is worse than every other bubble team under consideration by a wide margin. Cool for Missouri Valley to get two bids, but... I would also love it if they just put a hard and fast rule in place - if you can't win 40% of your conference games you do not go dancing - 50% is too harsh for a really strong conference, but 40% would seem to be a pretty fair cut off (adjust it if you want but Cal at 7-13!) It is going to be interesting - and which conference with the best chance at two FF - SEC might be it. I don't think except for the travel SC has that tough a road, and depending on if and how Jones comes back, the OK region is pretty open and Miss St if they are on could win if Baylor isn't 100% - they have a dynamic point and a lot of bodies if they can get some offensive production. I'm not sold on either Duke or FSU for the ACC, and while Stanford and OSU have really solid coaches I don't think either can score enough consistently to get through, and Washington is just not a complete enough team - I don't think they are as good as last year and they no longer have the surprise factor.
