You don't need to have a recollection about this, there are plenty of articles about every year's selection committee.

Please walk me through how the Big East did so poorly in the non-conference schedule this year.  The Big East is 18-22 against the other major conferences.  Not great, not terrible.  Big 12 is 21-27, Big 10 is 25-21, and the ACC is 15-50.

The Committee did not show a P4 bias last year.  As I had predicted a month before Selection Sunday, Xavier, Butler and Providence played themselves out of the tournament with bad losses to Villanova and Seton Hall.  No one was out to get them.  If any of those teams had won ONE MORE GAME, they were probably going dancing.  St. Johns should have gotten a bid, but so should have Pitt and maybe even Ohio State.  Hard to argue P4 bias when we are talking about one team on the tip of the bubble that didn't get a bid when other P4 teams with very similar resumes also didn't get bids.

How does the P4 bias explain 6 bids for the MWC?
