Ok so I looked breiefly...getting outta here and didnt feel like wasting time...until 2006 the NIT required a winning record but this is no longer the case...New Mexico has gone to the NIT with a losing record.

Here's a serious question: How many top 50 RPI teams (DI) are there with a SOS of 300+? +250? +200??

My guess is it's near impossible to be Top 50 RPI with a 300 SOS.. or 250 for that matter

And the record was?

My system would put below .500 teams potentially into the PI/NIT too, but not a 9-19 team, by any circumstance, especially one that got blown the eff out 14 of 19 times.

Oh my god....its happened. I agree with Colonels. 9-19 teams should NEVER make the PT.

You have nothing to base that on...and you dont know that the resulting crappy teams wouldnt shoot the RPI into the 100s as well, Syracuse's nonconference schedule was pretty pathetic and he went 7-9 in conference the SOS is simply a result of playing in a tough conference. By your screwed up logic a team that goes 0-26 with the #1 SOS should get into the tournament over a team that goes 26-0 but has the #300 SOS...because the 0-26 team surely would have won 26 games had they scheduled easier...you know what they'd call my mom if she had a set of nuts?
Pete?

You don't build good programs in d2 or d3 by going to the PI. He can schedule hard, but if he doesn't win enough games, he won't make the NT, which has to be the goal.

Could we just ask that PIT teams have 12 wins minimum? And NT teams have a minimum of 14? I can't see any circumstance where this is not a good idea.

Yeah, that makes sense. I understand that the idea is to make the selection rules as close as possible to real life, but I have to agree with colonels et al that when a 9-19 team makes the postseason then real life has not been successfully simulated.

I actually agree. No 9 - 19 teams in the PT. Now a 13 - 15 team, you coudl possibly make an argument for if they had a number of really good wins among the thirteen and mostly tough losses among the 15. . . but 9 - 19? Shouldn't be in.

And See Colonels? We don't disagree with you just because its you, we disagree with you because we disagree.

Why reward teams for losing, even if it's to good teams? Because they tried hard?
