[QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2104639, member: 199"] Because the committee this year decided that travel distance was a more important consideration than getting the seeding order correct, next year they will decide the most important consideration is ______________. And the year after, they will decide something else completely. This year, if they could place a team within 300 miles in a first round location, or in a regional location, then they would figure out a way to do so regardless of proper seeding. As far as Syracuse - they chose RPI as justification to give them an 8 seed and keep them within 'driving distance', like they did with Maryland to give them a three seed. Of course RPI didn't help Temple, Elon, or Drake who all had better RPI than Syracuse. The committee has about six criteria they are looking at when evaluating schools, and they seemingly do a mix and match process to justify sending schools where they want to send them and giving them the seeding that makes that decision work. It is what it is and the same kinds of issues exist every year. And no, beyond getting you into the tournament, the regular season does not seem to make much difference when you look at position within say 10 seed spots once you get outside the top 16. What I said in another thread is the committee claims to have watched 1200+ WCBB games this year in aggregate and yet you cannot look at a single decision they have made that suggests that the 'eye test' was involved with a single one of those decisions. In fact the opposite - they seem to have closed their eyes to actual play and looked only at numbers on a piece of paper. So one wonders why they all waste so many hours watching games and taking supposedly copious notes. [/QUOTE]
