Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4738275, member: 3850"] Not a lot different from the Basketball Selection Committee....which is an amalgamation of committee members opinions... Basketball Selection... [B]Among the resources available to the committee are an extensive season-long evaluation of teams through watching games, conference monitoring calls and NABC regional advisory rankings; complete box scores and results, head-to-head results, results versus common opponents, imbalanced conference schedules and results, overall and non-conference strength of schedule, the quality of wins and losses, road record, player and coach availability and various computer metrics. Each of the 12 committee members uses these various resources to form their own opinions, resulting in the committee’s consensus position on teams’ selection and seeding.[/B] 1. Prior to the selection meeting, each committee member receives an “initial ballot” comprised of two columns listing all eligible Division I teams in alphabetical order. Each committee member will submit the ballot by a designated time on the first full day of selection meetings: a. In the first column, each member shall identify [U]not more than 36 teams[/U] that, in that member’s opinion, should be [B]at- large selections[/B] (AL) in the tournament based upon play to date, regardless of whether the team could eventually represent its conference as the automatic qualifier. b. In the second column, each member shall identify all teams that [B]should receive consideration[/B] (C) for an at- large berth. There is no minimum or maximum limit in the second column; however, only teams meriting serious consideration should receive votes. 2. Any team receiving all but three of the eligible votes in Column 1 (AL) is moved into the tournament field as an at-large selection. [U][B]Procedures for Seeding[/B][/U] 1. Each committee member will submit a list of the best eight teams, in no particular order, from teams that are in the tournament as automatic qualifiers or at-large selections: 2. The eight teams receiving the most votes comprise the next seed list ballot. Yada...Yada...opinions...or popularity contest as you call it. [/QUOTE]
