Snubs and Flubs

You here about snubs all the time and the question is really why did you let X in instead of us.

I think there are only two "real" snubs this year: Cincinnati and Missouri State, but as usual, each cause their own demise. With Cincy, it came down to which Big East team would they swap with? I would argue that Seton Hall should have been left out rather than Cincy, but also feel they BOTH deserved a chance.

More perplexing is Missouri State. An RPI of 21 and you do not get in? Bradley needed to go and the Bears needed to be in.

But it is in the seeding that I am scratching my head. George Washington a #8? (#3 or #4 max)Tennessee a #2? (#3) Syracuse a #5? (#7 or 8) UCLA a #2? (#3 or #4). Okay, maybe missing by one slot is not so bad, but there seemed to be a number of misses. You show respect for Missouri Valley by giving them the same number of seeds as the ACC, but then don't give them higher then a #10 seed?

But let's see, the beauty of the NC2As is that the arguments are settled on the court.
