The CPI Analyzes the Tournament Selections

Much like Dick Vitale's Bald Dome Index, I have my own way of determining common sense solutions to NCAA tournament related issues. My Circumcised Penis Index (CPI) tells me a few things were fishy about this year's tournament selections.

I didn't have a problem with Washington being a #1 seed. However, Louisville got bent over into a well, their pants pulled down, and well, you know the rest. Of course they are the 4th ranked team in the country and got a #4 seed. But beyond that, they were one of the few teams that went out and continued their winning ways in the conference tournament. Plus, they only lost 4 games all year. Conference USA is rated low, but they did get 3 other teams in. I can understand not giving them a #1 seed, but they earned a #2 or a #3.

My CPI reminds me that Boston College was undefeated until recently. Yes they've struggled, but they won the Big East regular season. A #4 is to low for them, they deserved better.
UCONN's seed was a bit high, didn't Syracuse win the Big East title? I know UCONN beat them twice, but the CPI says that Syracuse won their last game, and don't the most recent games count more?

Miami University in Ohio got screwed like a prostitute who has sex for money often. Don't blame the woman, blame this system that didn't take her in and show her how truly beautiful she is as a person!! Miami has the best RPI (rated, uh, person imagination, or something?) of any school that didn't make the tourney. That doesn't mean anything until you realize that there were a significant amount of teams that made it in that followed them using the RPI (ripped penis index?).

Northern Iowa shouldn't have made it in, sorry to those that are affiliated to that school (for more than one reason). Their RPI (Random Police ball Invitation?) was one better than Miami's. But they finished 3rd or 4th or something in their conference. The MVC is a solid conference, but so is the MAC. The regular season champion deserved to make it. You might talk about Miami losing in the semis of their conference tournament, but I believe Northern Iowa lost in the quarters of their tournament, so going back to my CPI, Miami should have gotten the nod. Ohio's seed was too low also; they deserved better.

Have fun watching the games. Predictions to come.
