i just wish there were guidelines that were published and that the committee had to go by so that there could not be this "they used these rules this year" and "they used these rules last year" back and forth.Yes, Iowa's non con was once again garbage. Although not bad enough to hurt them apparently.
If the committee punished nc state for that atrocious non con, then it at least did its job in that instance to make up for a significant system flaw.
The NET, just like every other iteration before it, has significant flaws. I'm fine with the human element being involved with the decisions on the margins. The likelihood that the ultimate national championship would have been one of the teams that got left out of the tourney is quite small.
The NC State AD and their fan base obviously thought that NET was going to be a big factor in the selection process. Apparently not. I can see why they thought they had a case for being selected over Minnesota or St Johns, who both had much worse NET rankings.
