Why is the Big Ten getting so much love?

[JoeSmith1721]

Absolute garbage

I'm guessing they have more representation on the committee.

It's the RPI love fest.  B10(2) gets a bump for losing to the ACC every year in the ACC/B10(2) challenge.

michigan st a 10?

Asking the same question...

Big Ten seeding is a joke.

[whodem]

I don't really have a problem with SEC getting 7 in, but they all outside of the top 3 got overseeded.

Big 10 7/11 = 63.6%
Big East 11/16 = 68.8%

Not really much difference

IL a 9???

[superfan1387]

IL as a # 9 is the most outrageous. Michigan St. as a # 10 is equally outrageous, but somehow they will wind up in the final four.

[Warriors10]

The head is an Ohio State guy...

Bias much.

+1 complete garbage.  I think Colorado deserved to get in.

Penn State a 10?!?!  Thats ridiculous!

[CivEng12]

http://www.kenpom.com/conf.php?c=B10  They are actually above the Big East on KenPom.  They may be ugly to watch but that's what the computer says.

[MUMac]

It looks to me that MU was rated just below MSU and PSU.  We were the top 11th seeded team.  PSU and MSU were 2md and 3rd seeded 10th seeds, respectively.  Not much difference there.

The Chair of the Committee is the OSU Athletic Director.

[Keelsmeals]

The chair of the selection committee is the AD from Ohio State. I'd like to believe that doesn't mean anything, but I'm not that naïve.
