Mr. Scoobs Intervention Needed

Polls have absolutely ZERO impact on selection or seeding.

All has to do with what you did on the court--primarily Q1/Q2 wins and avoidance of Q3/Q4 losses.

Media opinions have absolutely zero bearing.

They aren’t meaningless. They do play into seeding for the tournament. But I get your point.

Selection committee members’ opinions most definitely play into the seedings. And polls influence those opinions

Not true. AP/Coaches polls aren't even on the data set. It's all NET

You realize they’re playing the #8 team in the country, right?
