Interesting Proposal from Stanford HC

Advertisement
Love the creativity. Trying to game the metrics. I respect that type of outside the box thinking.

If successful, he powers that be would just decide to modify the ways in which teams are selected. No way they allow a conference like the ACC to do get a leg up. The P2 is trying to set a standard for double digit teams to get auto-bids annually. A move like this would definitely throw a wrench in things.
 
That is a great idea but how do you know the top and bottom tier teams before the season.
Case in point, I don't think Miami was picked to miss the ACC Tournament this year.
In order for this to work, you would have to play each team once during the season then reschedule the second half of the season during the season to make it work.
Then it would be possible to do this!
 
They don’t even need different divisions. If boosting NET rankings is the goal, the Stanford coach is overcomplicating it. Just build the conference schedule based upon the prior year records. So the top half teams play each other twice and the bottom half teams play each other twice.

Separate tournaments don’t make sense so there’s no need for separate divisions. Only 3 teams miss the conference tourney and those will end up being the three worst teams even with the “weaker” schedule.

This system would really hurt the 6-8 teams most because their record would suffer due to having to play mostly top teams.

The problem with that is that it will lead to worse records for some of the better teams… which may cause its own penalty.

I recommend Stanford do a study on the ACC being better at playing basketball and winning meaningful basketball games...

Invest in success or die.

Exactly and with the amount of roster turnover that so many teams face from one season to the next, it's a crap shoot.

The SEC is currently sending teams with sub .500 conference records to the dance. Talking heads are all in on it, justifying it, and talking up the SEC, SEC, SEC. Absolutely infuriating, but this is where we are with the selection committee. I doubt they extend similar courtesies to the ACC and Big East - for VERY obvious reasons.

Makes perfect sense seeing as the SEC has exactly 1 National Championship in the last 18 years........

Right, downplayed the Big East all season, talking about how down it is. Meanwhile, the league is sending 4/5 dancing, whereas last season, they only got three in (and the league was more competitive top to bottom).

No surprise Seton Hall won the NIT. No surprise UCONN won the dance ,again. No surprise Creighton and Marquette went to the sweet sixteen. Game is rigged and it will just get worse with those country bumpkins suddenly being big time hoops schools.

None of the stupid **** they say ever makes any sense.
