How that situation makes sense to anyone is a continuing source of confusion to me, and I'm trying to be polite here.

But at least selecting the field for that final shot at the hardware might employ a better use of the available data. There are always teams that sneak-in, without the credentials to warrant that.
Anyway, cheers right back at you, sincerely. You made a good point.
Mine, was that a team gets a National bid if it has a body of work that stands-up to scrutiny, and not just on the basis of a mere weekend of our fickle game.Last edited by Fishman'81; 08-03-2019, 10:40 PM.

Originally posted by Fishman'81 View PostProf, as a professional statistician, I can't believe for a nano-second that you find this system equitable. Don't you agree that these tournaments (potentially) expunge months' worth of data for the sake of a brief sideshow?#OneKnight

Originally posted by altazo View PostThe real injustice is that Utica had to play such a big, strong, and old team in their conference championship.
And, Champs, don't pound your head against the wall. I realize that I harp on certain points, but only because it's so frustrating to witness the ongoing parade of stupid traditions.
D-3 actually employs a PWR, finally. Who saw that coming? Somebody must have complained about the smoke-filled room BS...
And it's possible that the silly conference tournaments AQ calculus will someday succumb to the same sort of common-sense, too.Last edited by Fishman'81; 08-05-2019, 09:22 PM.
