Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4226062, member: 3535"] This is a good post but you do agree with me that the NCAA has a metric at its disposal to use, right? You may not like the metric but the NCAA has adopted it, so they could use it how they see fit, right? Net Rankings is a system that they are using. If they are using it, it has value. If they felt as you suggest then they wouldn't be using it. or would have had another system or would have modified this before implementing it in which they exclude margin of victory. But they felt margin of victory was important, didn’t they? It’s your personal opinion that is flawed. But again what system isn't flawed? And they do include injuries, which means they are open to being subjective. If you are going to be subjective, then what is more apparent than what happened to UCONN? The point of having a committee and looking at injuries also means that you are going to be subjective. The point is- if you are going to say injuries count which means you are being subjective, and you are going to adopt a metric that you have promoted as part of your new evaluation system which probably better evaluates injuries than any other, now all of a sudden these factors are to be minimized? And part of my argument is that it is not fair to SC. If you want UCONN out of Bridgeport, fine. But as you say economics is part of it. So because this one part of playing at home is unfair then we should also make other things unfair such as making it harder for SC? "Two" wrongs don’t make a right. And Quality and Efficiency is superior to any other metric they have when it comes to injury. Otherwise which metric is superior? They can't arbitrarily not use it. [B]They adopted it and did not exclude margin of victory[/B]. Thus it is a metric they should value. [/QUOTE]
