Do you consider a play-in game to be in the tournament?

This is the only silver lining of missing the tournament to me. Not having to pretend like I think a loss in a play-in game counts as a tourney appearance in the even the Gophers got in and lost in Dayton.

Would have been huge for the program to get in this year, no matter how it happened though.

That's why my poll was First Four Loss vs Nit Run

There should be a Selection Committee on whether or not a thread is too stupid to start.

I think they should change the formula with the play-in games a little. I think that any team that is a qualifier from their conference tournament should not be put in a play-in game but should be put straight into the main draw. I think it should be the last at-large teams to be considered that should compete in the play-in games. Let them duke it out for who gets to be in the "real" part of the tournament.

I nominate you as chair of that committee, dpo.

Second the motion.

Third.

If we change the semantics so that only 64 teams make the actual tournament, then any team that would be one of the last four out gets to play the teams that would otherwise be the last four in.
