WAB = Wins Above Bubble, a team's extra wins beyond what a typical bubble team would have against its schedule

OK, this is getting ridiculous.  How is that assessed?

Mind you, I don't give a fuck, RT is now gone, I'm happy with that, but holy crap these metrics are getting way too arcane.

We are 3 years away from the metric of blue teams win at a higher rate than red teams and people mascots do better than animal mascots to decide the bracket

Last spot is probably between Texas, Boise State, Indiana, and Xavier.

Theyre just making up metrics now.

Anyone have an example of what that looks like?

One time our office pool was won by a dude's wife who picked every game by color/mascot.  She admittedly knew nothing about basketball.

“Well Bubba Cunningham’s wife would like to be plowed by Hubert Davis, so UNC is in”

So they made up a new metric to justify North Carolina getting in with the Committee Chairman being the North Carolina AD. That should go over well.

It is very similar to the WAP and POW metric when you look at the data. 

3 of our former coaches are in the tournament.

number of quad 1 wins mean shit when they are all in your conference.  we had too many losses and we were 14th place in a 16 team league. not even in the top 75% of the league.

at least we can move on and start figuring out how we will be relevant in basketball again.

Ope First Four

Pathetic

uh-oh.  3 Musketeers for Texas.

No way they were leaving us out with 7 quad 1 wins. Tried to tell ya.

They're still stupid for putting UNC in but I guess they at least needed a new metric to justify it.

Do you understand why this is the most incredibly stupid argument ever?  Jesus Christ I know you're a smart guy.  CONFERENCES ARE DIFFERENT.

So your hard stand based on "what the committee said yesterday" didn't hold?
