Rules for NCAA Selection Committees

[AUBandDad 0]

Like many of you, I have always wondered what kinds of rules and procedures the NCAA selection committees use for selecting and seeding both the men's and women's tournaments. Although the women's committee only recently adopted these rules, the men's committe has been using them for years. There are 15 of them. They explain a lot. Here they are:

1) Domination by one team during conference play in the SEC shows the weakness of the conference.

2) Domination by one team during conference play in all other conferences shows the strength of those conferences.

3) Parity during conference play in the SEC shows the weakness of the conference.

4) Parity during conference play in all other conferences shows the strength of those conferences.

5) Top-heaviness in the SEC (4+ ranked teams) shows the weakness of the bottom of the conference.

6) Top-heaviness in all other conferences (4+ ranked teams) shows the strength of the tops of those conferences.

7) Domination by the SEC in past NCAA tournaments (numerous championships, frequent representation in the Sweet 16, Elite 8, and Final 4), is totally irrelevant in the present or future.

8) Domination by any other conference in past NCAA tournaments (numerous championships, frequent representation in the Sweet 16, Elite 8, and Final 4), is extremely relevant in the present or future.

9) The relevance of out-of-conference strength of schedule and conference RPI is in inverse proportion to the ranking of the SEC as a whole and its member teams individually.

10) The SEC is never allowed to have the most teams selected in the tournament.

11) The SEC is never allowed to have a team be overseeded.

12) The ACC will always be superior to the SEC regardless of past or present performance.

13) The Big 10 will always be superior to the SEC regardless of past or present performance.

14) The Big East will always be superior to the SEC regardless of past or present performance.

15) If the SEC dominates the ACC, Big 10, and Big East, it is because the ACC, Big 10, and Big East have true student-athletes regardless of Greg Oden's class schedule.
