When we first learned of the NET, we said "Oh Boy! Objectivity in choosing/seeding teams for Tournament.
Then, we learned that the selection committee has the discretion to depart from those rankings. Uh, okay I guess that's needed.
Then, we learned about all the things that they could consider in departing from those rankings. Uh, wait a minute. That looks like any subjective belief can be justified. A UConn can have an objective NET rank of 2 but be dropped to the tenth selection? A Southern Cal can be ranked number 10 but be selected number 2 (I'm being told) ? This is different from coaches/AP/ESPN/Fox ratings in what way?
Should a limit be placed on the committees "discretion".
If you think it's fine as is with seemingly unlimited discretion vested in the committee, chose selection 1.
If you think there should be a numeric limitation on haw many places a team can be moved up or down by the committee, chose the number you think is correct
