History is not on the side of teams seeking at-large bids with 0 wins against the RPI Top 50. <BR/><BR/>Here are the teams who have made it with that criteria. The record in parentheses represents the team's record against the Top 50. All data from kenpom.com<BR/><BR/>2007 - none<BR/>2006 - Air Force (0-1; travesty of justice which I'm still salty about)<BR/>2005 - UAB (0-5)<BR/>2004 - Southern Illinois (0-1)<BR/>2003 - none<BR/>2002 - Tulsa (0-4)<BR/>2001 - none<BR/>2000 - none<BR/>1999 - George Washington (0-5)<BR/><BR/>As you can see, this is rare, but it's not breaking with precedent, which is what would take place if the 14th-ranked conference was permitted to have 3 teams in.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, the argument against WVU continues to build (mind you, they remain in the field). I hope Huggins can communicate to his team that his team's 12 wins in the Big East are among the most useless wins in recent memory. Not to mention, Providence lost that game rather than the other way around.Paymonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179522944078513967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34690815.post-7395802035367106632008-03-12T19:42:00.000-04:002008-03-12T19:42:00.000-04:00I wish IUPUI had pulled out a win over Oral Robert...I wish IUPUI had pulled out a win over Oral Roberts, then Indiana would really be represented in the tournament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34690815.post-27812981739823025242008-03-12T19:06:00.000-04:002008-03-12T19:06:00.000-04:00Unless VCU can pull a Utah State of a few years ba...Unless VCU can pull a Utah State of a few years back...I lament alongside Sum for multiple-bids for the CAA.Clementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324526593033658641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34690815.post-3032762781749986252008-03-12T15:28:00.000-04:002008-03-12T15:28:00.000-04:00As much as I'd love the CAA to get two bids, I jus...As much as I'd love the CAA to get two bids, I just don't see it happening.
