You could argue that ASU should have gotten the Bid over Michigan but that is about it. Yale and Temple did not deserve a bid over any of the teams that received bids.

Rutgers deserved a seed, Loyola did not... The committee uses RPI and SOS to justify their selections and seedings when they want but ignore them when they don't support their selections and seedings.

Below are the RPI and SOS rankings:

Team ------------------------RPI-----------------SOS

Virginia ---------------------19 ------------------- 3
ND ---------------------------16 ------------------- 2
Michigan ------------------- 18 ------------------ 21

ASU ------------------------- 26 ------------------ 9
Temple ---------------------- 22 ----------------- 24
Yale -------------------------- 25 ----------------- 46

Rutgers --------------------- 7 ------------------ 17
JHU ------------------------- 15 ----------------- 8

Stony Brook -------------- 8 ------------------- 19
Loyoly ---------------------- 10 ----------------- 23

Rutgers should have been seeded over both Loyola and Stony Brook.


Michigan did not finished well, but they do have a head-to-head win over Arizona St. as well as a better RPI.

Agree, Arizona State has a legit argument, Temple and Yale do not. I am sure the committee used the Head to Head win to give Michigan the nod. ASU is in a tough place trying to build the program, They had a very difficult schedule and maybe it hurt them.

Rutgers is the one that jumps out as the team that got hosed. Selection committee hypes RPI, SOS, QW, Last 6 Games etc.... I guess the committee focussed on the one "bad loss" to ASU as opposed to the QW vs Northwestern and their RPI and SOS.
