Tar Heels choosen #1 before SEC Title game

Just read this small snippet on ESPN.
LINK
"Vanderbilt had the nation's No. 1 RPI after the regular season, ahead of North Carolina. That was just one of the criteria used by the selection committee, Farrell said.
"It really is kind of a marriage of art and science," he said. "We get a lot of data put in front of us. We get advice from regional advisory committees. At the end of the day it's a vote of 10 committee members."
Farrell said the decision to pick the Tar Heels over the Commodores was made before the end of Vanderbilt's 5-4, 11-inning loss to LSU in the SEC tournament championship game Sunday."
Is this normal practice of a selection committee to choose before all games are played/decided? Just wondering.

It's dumb but doesn't matter. I would bet anything the national title is LSU-Vandy

I like us at 4th.

I can't ask for a more manageable road for LSU to Omaha, nonetheless.

AKA, we throw shite at the wall and see what sticks. These dudes just don't want to rely on what the polls and RPI tell them. They have to find a way to be different, so they go against the grain. Whatever floats their boat, though.

There is absolutely no difference between being #1 or #2--period.

If we were going to get that crazy-easy bracket UNC has, I would like to be the one seed. Otherwise I still believe #1 =/= #8

I'm confident in this team but we had a fairly easy road to Omaha last year as well...

It's dumb twice, once because they picked before all games were played and they picked the wrong team before all games were played

Pretty much what happened in 2003 after USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl. AP didn't want to see another game played.

It doesn't matter. Now is the time to go out and take the national title!

i cant stand you guys liking 4th. If they seeded wrong, then they seeded wrong. could care less who we play. Got to beat the best to be best, or i guess thats only in football.
You guys bitched ab 10, bitch ab basketball. All based off of a committee of biased fricks. football will be no diff.
