FraudNardi has Wichita State as a 9 SEED. They are #13 on Ken Pom if you were curious. He has West Virginia as a 4 seed when they are pretty clearly a top team. They are #3 on Ken Pom. Saint Mary's as a 6 seed and they are #15 on Ken Pom. Basically pick any mid major team and they are undervalued by the committee/Fraudnardi compared to advanced metrics. Seton Hall is in the tourny as #59 but Illinois State is nowhere to be found at #49? I bet MTSU at #44 would get shunned too if they didn't win their conference tourny.

You'll go crazy trying to figure out seeds it really doesn't matter because most of the time and national power winsComment -
Becuase KenPom is NOT everything. Wichita State is not the 13th best team in the country, and they're not worthy of a 3 or 4 seed. Maybe 9 seed is too low. Somewhere in the middle seems right.Comment -
If you play in a weak ass conference then schedule someone out of conference. If they don't want to do that then those teams shouldn't be surprised when they don't get in even if they have 28 wins. Put Ill St in one of top leagues they would be well under .500Comment -
going to be a great tourney. ITS WIDE OPEN!!Comment -
The biggest joke I see is Baylor still ranked #9 and on the 2 line. Since conference games started they are 0-3 vs the other top 2 in the Big 12 (only 2 other schools consistently ranked). Have only won 2 games since February started, with a record of 2-4. Baylor continues to be the most overrated team in the country yet again.Comment -
KenPom puts too much weight into score differentials in my opinion.
Dominating really bad teams like Wichita State does does not necessarily mean they are a top 15 team.Comment -
I agree to an extent but if you're covering spread, you can really only beat who's put in front of you. Wichita St 14-11 ATS which is solid. I'm looking at kenpom and I'm not sure who's behind them that I would put over them. Maybe Wiscy and SMU but that's about it. Zags play bad teams but they trash those squads. 19-5 ATS is filthy, they're easily the best team in the country ATS.Comment -

The point of the committee is to make sure the right teams get in the tournament and the money goes to the big conferences.Comment -
Are you taking KenPom rankings as gospel here? If so, that's a mistake. A big time mistake.Comment -
The way Ken Pom works is deceptive.
Has a lot more to do with raw data than it does what we know to be true about certain teams.
Gonzaga hasn't won a game by less than ten points since early December. If it came down to the wire in a game between Gonzaga and a team that has had to fight for wins against tough competition, I wouldn't be siding with the zags.Comment -
Virginia is always ranked in the top 5 in the KenPom rankings. You're an idiot if you think they've been a top 5 team at any point during the last 4 seasons.Comment -
This whiny little twat of a poster is STILL HERE? Just how long do we have to wait for you to "spend all your points on gift cards and leave". What is a $100 gift card 3350? So I guess through FEB?
I see you're even back to power posting creating thread after thread. Never change pal. T minus any day now until you create some whiny thread about leaving again when things don't go your way.

Do you guys realize 85% of teams in tourney have zero shot to win??
The tourney should be 32 teamsComment -
I couldn't agree more about this clown. He's been hiding in the MMA forum for awhile and now has decided to spread his wings again. He's the typical young gambler that thinks he knows it all and he's obviously emotionally inept...it won't be long before he has another meltdown.Comment -
Jaker a losing gambler who has no emotional intelligence? I mean he's MEANT for SBR. Too bad he "hates" us all so much
. Waiting for him to bump his "I'm not sure why I'm taking the Falcons over the Pack but I'm gonna do it but if you can tell me why I'm doing it please respond and I'm also laying big juice on the ml instead of taking the spread" thread with his little I told you so? on the end.

no idea if he wins or not but he certainly thinks he knows everything..I guess it is good to be confident but this kid has a lot to learn about gambling and sports betting...he is one of the few posters that I find so annoying that I don't even read his drivel anymore and just conveniently skip over it.Jaker a losing gambler who has no emotional intelligence?

The MMA community here seems to have embraced him for some reason.Comment -
Wasn't this guy whining about losing and was supposed to quit SBR??

Wichita State has yet to defeat a Sagarin Top 50 team. Enough said.Comment -
Guess I should have mentioned that KenPom is as accurate as any other measure I'm aware of. Look at the closing lines and look at the KenPom predictions. Very similar within 1-2 points mostly. Nice to see some of you classy fuckers still around. penetrate YOU guys. I'll post here all I want. Most of you are going on ignore now anyway. Not dealing with your bsComment -
You do realize kenpom ranking is not a criteria for the selection committee?Comment -
Buried again, TP. Your thoughts are worth less than a roll.Comment -
The committee always screws mid majors, nothing new here.Comment -
They have 2 wins over a top 5 team and have been very competitive in most of their losses. A 2 point loss to Nova (#2) on the road is a great performance and is more like a win. I'm not sure why they are so high but they have played the 6th toughest schedule in the country. I may see if I can get Ken Pom to respond on Twitter about that. Sagarin has Virginia #10 as well so it isn't some oddityComment -
Ken Pom is a nobody
lol just an auto computer program modelComment
