What does everyone think of the final selections?
The teams I thought would be selected were selected exactly in the order they were selected. There was some grumbling with my oldest son who thought the committee sold out for money with the Ohio State selection but I see it differently. TCU & Baylor have to do a better job of non-conference scheduling and they should add a conference championship, as all selections were conference champions. TCU and Baylor are excellent teams but they didn't separate themselves as the others did with their scheduling.
Could the selection committee have done a better job of telling eveyone what exactly the guidelines would be and why? Most certainly. But, I like this better than a computer ranking, and I think the committee did a very good job.
I thought Kirk Herbstreit had it right in his discussion about the selections before they were announced. His rationale was exactly how the committee was thinking. The lesson learned through all of this is to play your 8 conference games, 2 non-confernce games and 1 FCS game.....win them and play in the conference championship to get a shot at the Final Four.
