Congratulations to everyone for making it to the greatest day of the year, Selection Sunday.

Boise State’s resume is one of the best in the bubble.

Their wins against Clemson, St. Mary’s, New Mexico, Utah State and San Diego State are not just good, but there are plenty of them. The Broncos’ weakness mostly comes from the eye test, which is subjective when it comes to determining who gets in.

Texas’s 15 Quad 1 and Quad 2 losses would be the most combined by a team making tournament and North Carolina’s 1-12 Quad 1 record would be the worst of any tournament team. Indiana’s 13 Quad 1 losses would set the record for most losses by a team in the tournament.

The committee has never put teams with weaknesses as bad as those. I believe they will put in the two Mountain West teams (San Diego State and Boise State) and Xavier because of their quality wins and weaknesses that are not as severe as the teams previously aforementioned.
