Off the Block crunched the numbers using the same criteria as the selection committee to show how the top teams in the nation fare against each other in the race for a possible at-large bid and NCAA Tournament positioning.
Below are all of the criteria categories the selection committee uses to determine the NCAA Tournament field.
— KPI rankings
— RPI ranking
— Strength of schedule
— Won-lost results
— Head-to-head competition
— Results versus non-conference opponents
— Home and away results
— Results against common opponents
— Results against teams already qualified and other teams under consideration
— Eligibility and availability of student-athletes for NCAA championships.
There is no requirement for the committee to give additional weight to a certain category.
The NCAA Tournament expanded this season from nine to 12 teams with the field consisting of seven conference automatic berths and five at-large berths. The new tournament format also will feature teams being placed into four groups for the opening two rounds, and the top four teams being seeded and placed into separate groups.
Here’s how the at-large bid races look right now using the selection committee criteria.
[Editor’s note: Teams projected to qualify or be under consideration are Ball State, Belmont Abbey, Fort Valley State, Hawai’i, Lindenwood, Long Beach State, Loyola, Penn State, Pepperdine, Saint Francis, UC Irvine, UCLA and USC.]
