That's the only way you explain Syracuse getting in.  It's the only way you explain St. Mary's not getting in.  USC somehow falls short.  Texas and Oklahoma don't even have to pass the Dayton clearinghouse.  The #1 overall seed stares at Kentucky/Arizona in the sweet sixteen.

I don't even really hate Syracuse that much anymore.  I root for them to lose, but it's mostly apathy.  It's not apathy when year after year people prioritize subjective measurements over objective ones.  There were two programs in Syracuse's conference alone that belonged in before them.

I get that you can go through and contest the selections regardless of who picks the field or what year it is.  But that's the point.  When somebody asks why Syracuse is in the field, somebody on the committee is going to mutter something about their strength of victories in quadrant two away from home and nobody will bother to ask anything more because the tournament makes a lot of money.
