So, the Hoosiers are on the outside looking in. While it really did not matter much, it really does not make sense. It’s confusing. The ACC only gets 4 teams, which may have really hurt IU's chances…..there would have been just 3 without UNC. But the Big Ten gets 8 in….but we are supposed to believe that UNC had a tougher schedule than IU?
I will say, once I saw UNC was in the play in game, I texted friends that IU did not make it and UNC was the last one in.
What I also found odd was that even during the tourney game against Oregon, broadcasters still had the Penn State win as a quad 1 win. Maybe there was a time when Penn State was ranked, but that just showed how screwed up the rankings were. That win should not be counted a quad 1 in my mind.
