Will be nice to see how the Big 10 fairs against the rest of the country to get a better measure on the true conference strength. Oklahoma making it and us getting a 5 seed in the NIT does seem a bit cheesy. Not to mention a dude throwing a ball into a basket one more time than we did (the Kansas game) probably determining a dramatic change in tournament positions. Not saying we should have totally made the dance, but a freaking 5 seed in the NIT? lol.
Wonder how much emphasis the committee puts in those dam* computer models. Sounds like it's a lot. Computer models are good for predicting things with direct measurements, such as weather (well getting their at least), but often terrible when humans are in the equation (ex. politics, economics, etc.). I know there is some direct measurements in sports, but like how in the hell do you even begin with all of that psychology stuff, not to mention all of the environmental factors involved in the game.
