Why is it ridiculous? Why are games in March more important than games in January and Feb? In football, fans complain if teams get penalized for losing late as opposed to early. But in basketball, everyone wants to act like the committee should just choose the hottest teams. Among other things, overemphasizing the last few games wouldn’t be equitable because some teams have a frontloaded conference schedule and others the opposite. If we played Florida or Bama in the last three weeks, it’s highly unlikely we would have won 8 of 11.
Would you have picked SMU over OU?
I have no idea. That’s not the committee’s job, though, to select the field based on who they think would be favored in a head to head game. The results of the full season matter. I just hate when our fans do this. Every year, people wait to see who is in the First Four and then say “it’s crap they made it over us.” A lot of people also said Texas shouldn’t be in. If we had made it, people would have said it about us as a 15-loss team without a single good noncon wins. All the teams at the bottom of the field are pretty damn weak.
. And this “lock down defender” didn’t even play tonight!! SMU finished 11th in a weaker league…so yeah, we as OU fans can be irritated about it. Not sure why that bothers you.
