It looks/sounds like the NCAA selection committee

placed some emphasis on winning your conference. I'm talking specifically about UCLA hosting.

That might be something that Boyd, Warren Nolan and whoever else might need to take into consideration in the future.

That was a little surprising. All the hosts are 1-seeds this year, right? I can't recall the last time that's happened.

That's probably what kept both LSU and Mississippi out. If you go strictly with the best available at-large teams, they're both in. Unlike you and some others, I have no problem with this. If you can't finish in the top 8 in a 12-team league, I don't think you deserve a bid no matter what you did out of conference or how tough the conference is.
