Way to go ISU...give 'em hell in Louisville.

I agree it's got to be tough for Wichita State, but I think they have a couple things working against them. First, the RPI doesn't recognize their 3 wins against non D1 opponents, so they "only" have 38 wins for consideration. Second (after the 30 conference winner bids) the ACC, SEC, and Pac 10 (and maybe the Big 12) teams chew up a majority of the at-large bids with their strength of schedule advantage.

I wouldn't want to take away automatic bids from conference winners even though many of those teams are not nearly as good as WSU and others who were overlooked. But I would propose that there be a limit set for teams from the same conference getting bids. Even if your team is good, maybe you don't deserve a bid to regionals if you're only the 7th or 8th best team in your conference. Just a thought.
