Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 2586961, member: 2527"] I don't think SC is getting any special treatment based on last season's championship. I think the committee is rewarding them for something on their schedule. Perhaps the committee ignores a few non-conference games (for example, opponents where RPI is worse than say, #250); that would take SC's three worse non-conference games out of the equation. Then, they perhaps get a "bonus" since they are the only team who has played #1 UConn, #2 Notre Dame, and #3 Miss. State. SEC does have a lot of teams in the top 25 RPI, so those 2 games against Mizzou, plus games against Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas A&M could be having a huge factor. Perhaps the committee is putting more weight on Top 25 RPI games played than the broader Top 50 RPI games. [/QUOTE]
