This is a good way to measure it

and it's interesting that when making that comparison how similar football and basketball are in terms of success.

This is the correct answer

Probably the right answer. 337 teams. 68 in. = finished top 20%

Blueto

3/17/15 1:15pm

The majority of the programs w/o a football team have basketball teams that are

True, but autobids acount for 20 spots and those are given to the schools you

Blueto

True, but many autobids would have made the tourney anyway.

Are those thumbing down really suggesting there aren't many teams with an

To be an at-large selection is like being in the top 46-ish teams out of 337.

Yes

heck no. i HATE the percentage comp...all it means is there are a ton of

Disagree completely. There are tons of schools all in on hoops, Gonzaga, Nova,

Blueto

Of course there are a few exceptions like those. But there are entire

I'd say the ratios of good to garbage are about equal. A school like Butler

That's a commentary on the systems used to determine the champion, not on the

garyfan

3/17/15 1:57pm

Yes and no. A run through the tourney by a small school shows the competitive

Blueto

That's easy to dispute because you only reference the schools that are

What the...? 7 of the current Top 25 don't play FBS football.

3/17/15 5:18pm

Nobody (including me) is saying there aren't very good basketball teams at

garyfan

MVC is a horrible example. They have 2 Top 20 teams.

Uh....the Cotton Bowl is an NY6 bowl....

Yes and no

The Cotton Bowl is literally an NY6 bowl....

It is now.

What are you talking about? We aren't discussing what bowls BYU has played in.

LOL - The other thread I am posting on is leaking into this one.

3/17/15 4:24pm

8 wins and a bowl

garyfan

3/17/15 1:12pm

No way. That's like making the NIT.

3/17/15 5:21pm

I think that is kind of like a first 4 game.

3/17/15 6:25pm

If the majority of the US population is off work the day off the bowl.
