That is the problem with this whole system. They use different criteria for different teams. Too easy to justify mind boggling choices without using the same standards.
Amazing to me that in football terrible conferences (ACC) get an automatic BCS game but in basketball if the perception is your conference is weak, good luck getting into the tournament.
Wrong. Reason most of these teams are in over us is TV markets. Easy for the committee to justify keeping any team in or out since the target moves every year for what they are looking for.

Disagree! Clempson continued to drag our RPI down and they were a part of our OOC. Point of the schedule is several of the teams we scheduled were projected to be good this year but did not pan out. We did not set out to schedule a weak OOC but we are being punished for it.
I agree with the OP as well. This has been a problem for many years. We do a poor job of marketing our quality product. What's amazing is that we are a top notch Business University that struggles marketing our athletics. Maybe the AD should turn marketing over to the business department.
