Not much of a resume other than the TAMU win, but they are in a "power conference". Even that is the lowest rated out of the conferences.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22972768.post-90776430486722540352016-03-12T02:57:50.696-05:002016-03-12T02:57:50.696-05:00Thank you!

By that I mean that if one team has a NCSOS that is 100th and another is 150th, that's not going to make any difference when comparing them. But when teams have extremely good or bad NCSOS, the Selection Committee has tended to reward/punish them to make an example of them (SMU a couple years ago being a clear example). So South Carolina would be a glaring example of a team that could be on their way to being punished.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767101715737129123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22972768.post-65025394551438615442016-03-11T09:21:44.586-05:002016-03-11T09:21:44.586-05:00First, I hope the move to the new job is going wel...First, I hope the move to the new job is going well. I am glad you have found some time to keep posting and updating your predictions.<br /><br />The last few spots on the bubble this year will be interesting. The committee has stated they want teams to play good schedules out of conference. That will severely hamper both St. Mary's and South Carolina while rewarding Temple, Monmouth, Tulsa and a few others. The first two basically played top teams within conference only, while the latter have at least played good teams outside of conference. Monmouth even won a couple. Do you think the committee will hold true to their word?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
