i'm sure their rpi vs. the top 50 gets a little better. swept oklahoma state, beat south carolina and east carolina. all that tells me is that they played a very good schedule (i'd imagine it's gotta be inside the top 20 in the nation). also sucks for them that they traveled to ucla in a year that the bruins are shitty.

i want the best teams in the field. there's no way they're not one of the best 30-35 at-large teams in the country. i just don't think it would be nice in any way, shape, or form for a team that absolutely deserves to be in the field to be kept out because they played in THE BEST conference in america.

the sec invites 12 teams to its tournament. if the acc had the same format, unc would have made their conference tournament. that doesn't change their worth to me whatsoever.
