Ken Pomeroy takes Bob Bowlsby to task about his exaltation of the RPI because Pomeroy knows that the NCAA selection committee has backed itself in a corner with regards to its at large selections. Bizarre results could arise this Selection Sunday -- more bizarre than usual. Don't be surprised if the "big story" going in to the Big Dance is which teams got left out of the picture.
Bonus Pomeroy Tidbit: Interestingly enough, both Ohio State and Iowa find themselves in the top 30 nationally in Ken Pomeroy's highly respected rankings, but Ken doesn't mention the Hawkeyes as a potential tournament team. (Ohio State is ineligible.)
Double Bonus Pomeroy Tidbit: Playing Wake Forest, Gonzaga, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Arkansas, Oregon and Missouri doesn't get you much these days. Illinois' non-conference ranking, per Pomeroy, is 101. I guess the Chicago States, Northwestern States, Longwoods and Oaklands kinda hurt you....
