selection committee

Selection Sunday 2012 is on March 11th. CBS will announced the 68-team field (the 2nd year of the new format) beginning at 6 PM. This follows the completion of the Big Ten Championship, which is the last game before the Field is announced.

 

Inevitably, when the committee announces the bracket on selection sunday, a "mid-major" will be highest ranked RPI team to be left out of the field.

Over the last 6 years, the highest RPI team not to make the field has consistently come from a non-BCS conference. In fact, over the last three years, the committee became even more biased. At least the 5 best RPI teams not to make the field were "mid-majors".
