Nobody seems to believe that the 'Majors' won't even play us on their floor without a return game....

Hey, nice job of editing my post to avoid the fact that you were wrong about the committee make-up.

I wasn't wrong about the committee make-up. In fact, I never commented on the committee make-up. I believe you are referring to UNIChippewa. It looks like someone was in a little bit of a hurry to go on a rant.

Am I the only person on this board that remembers that in 2004 Air Force got into the dance with an RPI of 70? The highest at-large RPI to get into the dance in years, and believe it or not, it doesnt fit neatly within our "BCS Bias" agenda.

What forumula do you want to use? Oklahoma went 22-11, had an RPI of 29 with 6 top 50 wins.

You're right about Oklahoma. I didn't pay much attention to the Big 12 this year and ran my mouth without straightening my facts.

However Villanova, Oregon, Arizona, and Baylor are all very questionable to me with teams like Illinois State and Dayton on the bubble as well. The Valley should've gotten at least two teams in.

And as far as what formula to use, did you read my post? I don't have a clue at the moment, but you can't tell me when we've got great numbers like RPI and SOS and coaches poll's and what not down to a science, that we couldn't combine all of that and come up with the best 65 teams of the season.

There doesn't exist a formula at the moment, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be one. I think the human element needs to be removed from this. The committee too often screws over smaller schools in favor of mediocre big schools. It's not fair and it doesn't have to happen.
