The committee chairman said the "eye test" is now in play as a determining factor. Which basically means they can pick whoever they please without having to really justify it.

Updated Numbers vs. Lunardi and Palm: Dead heat heading into 2015-16

With my sub-par performance yesterday (3 misfires), Joe Lunardi, Jerry Palm, and I now are in a dead heat since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 68 teams. Obviously, hoping to get back on track next season. If you're curious about all of our misses since the 2010-11 season, please see below.

As stated previously, I have no qualms with BYU and Indiana getting selected. Not so with UCLA. Didn't see that one at all. Steve Alford should be the happiest guy on the planet today!

The worst and scariest comment of the selection season. It could go from reasonably predictable to way more political very easily.

Over the years it has been predictable AND political. Just because the committee doesn't approach this in the exact same way some sports geek who looks at computer rankings constantly would doesn't mean it's unpredictable. Every now and then they'll surprise you with a pick like George Mason in 2006 but, who knows, maybe that was even the result of some insider influence.
