I will elaborate further dolt. We are 40th in Sagarin, 48th in Kenpom, 37th in ESPN Basketball Performance Index and 80th in UPS Team Performance Index. The article is Jay Bilas's sumation of the 68 best teams based on all those metrics and in no where does it says the 68 best "tournament teams" - Uconn. So beat it.
The introduction of The Bilas Index last season proved without a doubt to be a momentous event in the history of the game and, without hyperbole, in our nation's history.
From the time that Naismith invented the game, man has been wandering in the woods without direction, needing the sage guidance of The Bilastrator to understand that which had been incomprehensible before: the true order of the game and exactly what accurately measures basketball success and proficiency. Like Jonas Salk did in the medical realm with his polio vaccine, The Bilastrator was able to rid the world of basketball of a horrible stain in the fabric of the game: the rank guesswork of the NCAA selection committee.
While the selection committee was, relatively speaking, still climbing out of the primordial ooze in assessing the game and those who play it, The Bilas Index was able to open up the mysteries of the universe for the committee's poor, directionless souls. No longer will those NCAA administrators struggle with the difficulty of the formula for the RPI, because the Bilas Index has made them -- and any prior measure contemplated -- completely and totally obsolete. The selection committee is now the hickory stick mashie in the world of titanium shafts and super COI drivers.''
Why do you think he uses 68 teams? Did yo not read the previous threads mentioning how he stated prior UConn was not in the discussion because they are in eligible for the tournament?
I guess expecting people to read the stuff above and see the fact there is 68 teams and to realize UConn is not going to be eligible for the ranking is to much to ask. Citing the AP poll is not though, that is just plain stupid.
