Who's hosting the Semi's???

It seems like it's been that way for multiple seasons. I know a few teams this year that would have been favorites, if not heavy favorites, to beat teams that got into the dance. The comm. points to the numbers, but assuming the numbers are valid is a leap. Even then, there is no rule as to how the metrics are to be used. What we usually hear is "that's how they did it in the past." So using them the same way to get bad results AGAIN is the right thing to do? Sure. I'm wondering what next season will look like as I've heard that it'll come down to one number. I will forever cling to having selections based on an independent comm. (That's a challenge in its own right.) that CAN use metrics, but are allowed to adjust when, for whatever reason, the results don't make sense.

Seems like every time David Sharp (OBU’s AD) gets on a committee, Harding gets hurt in some way. He will find some way to weasel himself on it- just to spite a university and program that outshines his corrupt and backwards institution

Anyone know what the NCAA charges for spouses or kids of coaches to travel to these playoff games? Just curious

They charge whatever the airfare and hotels you book cost.

. I think there is some funky business going on with the committee. It’s no secret that OBU’s AD is the one who is on that committee.

Committee has played favoritism for decades-yes i’m still pissed about 2007

Still trying to figure how metrics are used in the semi-final reseeding process. Going into the regional championship weekend Ferris’ SOS was .518, Kutztown’s was .506, Harding’s was .500. Ferris’ KPI was .324, Kutztown’s KPI was .359, Harding’s was .336. I don’t know how these metrics change after the games are played or even if “The Committee” has access to the updated KPI data. Obviously they are not using any SOS data after the playoffs start or Harding’s SOS would have soared above .500 and been better than Kutztown’s. My hunch is they all got on a Zoom call, heard each out and voted. Metrics had little or nothing to do with it. It’s okay. If you’re going to win a NC, you got to beat whoever comes next regardless of the circumstances.

I'm not sure this is true. The combined D2 record of the teams Harding beat is 27-6. The combined D2 record of the teams Kutztown beat is 24-6. Obviously there is context in those wins and the Kutztown path was much easier, but the metrics don't have that context.
