Providence, Seton Hall, and St. John's (at least until the last couple weeks) were all mediocre teams that were left out in favor of other mediocre teams that had more political sway.  Everyone brings up Virginia and MSU, but the real tell might've been Northwestern.  The committee helped skate them to a 9-seed without much pushback simply for beating Purdue by four in December, only to turnaround today and downplay Seton Hall's 15 point win over UConn.

They'd have been better off just laying low, because that's the sort of thing that makes their bias obvious.  Northwestern and Virginia are two of the most visible and prestigious schools in the country, and Seton Hall is a commuter school.  Don't think that doesn't matter.

Mississippi State, Texas A&M, and Michigan State getting in, or Clemson getting a six, is just money talking in a different way, and further evidence of a P2 agenda.  Schools that are owned or coveted by the P2 made out much better than the likes of Pitt and Wake Forest.  The only exception was Oklahoma, who I'm sure can't get to the SEC fast enough.
