Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2626750, member: 1329"] Because there's no reason to start with any rule. We have real human beings making decisions based on a lot more information than just conference record and the rule is totally unnecessary, unless your aim is to let in worse teams by limiting the committee. For example, UConn in 2011 was 9-9 in conference play. What if we had lost the South Florida OT game in conference play and then lost the OT Syracuse game in the BE tournament. Those 2 more losses (and 1 less good win not attempted) probably drop our seed from 3 to maybe 8-10 range. Nope, sorry. Nothing we can do, there's a rule that forbids it. We're out. [/QUOTE]
