During yesterday's broadcast of butler at depaul, they did one of those blind "who would you pick" based on records, etc. It was butler and Seton hall. The announcer actually chose butler's resume. Butler is considered to be out while Seton hall is supposed to be comfortably in.
The matrices can be read and interpreted so many different ways to make your head spin (as another poster noted). Who knows what factors the committee values more highly than other.
I hope rhis year we're not NC state when st john's was picked over it for the first four game in Dayton that we eventually lost to luc dort and Arizona state.
