I prefer cc to make this kind of blind comparisons. He usually includes only half of the stats so it really makes you think.

Those numbers show all of their losses, and I don't care how many wins they have over the +100 RPI teams, so overall records are unnecessary.

You honestly think overall record isn't valued? Do you think the selection committee disregards it?

I'm sure some people value it. It doesn't tell me anything except that Team B who is 9-1 against bad teams would probably be 22-2 against them if they played Team D's schedule.

Add the record vs. the top 100 to the record vs. bad teams. That is their total record.

Overall wins not important???

Just as Gene Smith, a major player in the selection committee this year, says he looks at overall win totals first.

He was asked what was his main criteria on teams getting in the tournament. His reply was overall wins. Just thought that was odd that the Committee Chair uses that as his biggest criteria.

I didn't see his comments, but that sounds pretty stupid. Why play anyone then? I read a couple of articles by guys who participated in that mock selection they did and they talked about how important SOS, especially non conference SOS, road/neutral performance, and the RPI rating of your wins are to the selection committee.

Those teams all suck. I vote that none of them get in.

But team F would be my first choice.

He said everyone on the committee has their own starting point and his is overall wins. He then looks at SOS, RPI etc. to further his evaluation.

In the future, no one wants to look at that many teams at 1 time. I attempted and got bored and started to stare at the wall. 3 teams is about what you should compare at the most.

??? I don't see the cleverness in this as both my addition and my use of the word 'assume' are both completely correct.

Since the overall record isn't specifically stated in the blind resume, any information about a team's overall record has to be an assumption. Pick up a dictionary. This type of logical action is called a supposition or correct assumption.

Is it possible for you to post on any thread without the end result of you coming off looking like a douche? I wasn't attacking you or mocking you in my post and, you have to admit, it seemed like you honestly didn't know the overall records.
