And before you tell me the committee doesn't use those stats, that is totally fine. They are basically measures that consider a lot more than archaic RPI formula that is just a glorified strength of schedule rating that takes nothing into account besides W's and L's.

i don't have a problem with that at all. i was addressing your incorrect statement that i am obsessed with rpi because i have talked about other things the committee says are important on a yearly basis that a certain small group of people don't want to hear.

and btw, espn's bpi JUST put lsu in the tourney in the last couple of days. which mirrors what i have been saying all along.

I think your demeanor is so off-putting

yeah, because the boorishness of the jonestown cult is so much more desirable. they devolved into all the personal insults and i didn't respond in kind. i stuck to the facts. they childishly equated that with me wanting lsu to lose.

i don't have any criticisms. i merely pointed out what bracketologists were saying. it wasn't a popular message but i think so many other people are now saying the same thing, they have started to see i wasn't stupid all along. they wanted to jump on the lunardi bandwagon failing to note that he was the extreme exception and that he's not necessarily the most accurate.

however, you tend to respond without listening to anyone else or with an open mind.

listen to what? them poring over 4 years of my post history to find evidence that i "hate" johnny jones? i needed to have an open mind about that stupidity?

You try and make up silly factors that aren't really bad

so i made up that lsu doesn't have a top 50 road win?

i see that you're trying to be reasonable and have a civil discussion and i thank you for that. it's refreshing. however, i'm confused by your perspective about how the situation unfolded. you harped on me for sticking to facts and defended the juvenile behavior of the crew as if they were ever actually interested in discussing factual things that the committee actually looks at

B, if you have yet to see why people on this board would rather bust your balls then have a reasonable discussion with you idk what else to tell you.

Bracketmatrix has LSU as 12th seed
