Middle Tennessee, Notre Dame among the 7 biggest NCAA tournament snubs on Selection Sunday

Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis thinks this year’s team is better than last year’s team that knocked off Minnesota in the first round of the NCAAs and 2016’s team that pulled off perhaps the greatest bracket-buster of all-time in an upset of Michigan State as a No. 15 seed.

“I think we have a Sweet 16 team,” Davis told USA TODAY Sports by phone. “That’s the frustrating part, you know you have a team that’s built for the second-weekend, but you’ve got to get that opportunity.”

never been to Jamba, don't really want too.. Isn't it expensive?

It’s not overly expensive, but it does suck

Every ESPN analyst has Zags vs Michigan in the elite 8. Crazy, but I cannot totally disagree. I think a lot of people are going to pick the Zags for the final 4. Every one but 1 picks MSU to win it all. Watch they get upset in the 1st round again.

Notre Dame was the team knocked out by Davidson's last-second win against Rhode Island in the Atlantic 10 final, according to the committee chair Bruce Rasmussen — surely a hard pill for this group to swallow. The Fighting Irish (20-14, 8-10) might have needed one more marquee win to punch their ticket and came up short against Duke in the ACC tourney quarterfinals. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said after that game, “I hope they can get in because I think they can beat anybody.” Notre Dame was a completely different team since Bonzie Colson, a preseason All-American, came back from injury. But as lenient as the committee can be to injuries (ND lost seven in a row with Colson out), it still wasn't enough, as it was hard to rationalize Notre Dame’s résumé (RPI in the 60s, non-conference strength of schedule of 170, just two Q1 wins) over some of the at-large candidates that snuck in.

The Cowboys (19-14, 8-10) swept Kansas in the regular season — a feat that looks all the more better following the Jayhawks’ impressive Big 12 tournament title and No. 1 NCAA seed status. OSU also has wins over West Virginia and Texas Tech. Ah, the luxuries of playing in the Big 12. But that served as a doubled edged sword that came in the form of a stretch that saw OSU lose seven of 10. That and the rest of the Cowboys’ portfolio is relatively bare. There are no bad losses on this résumé, but no other bubble team had an RPI in the 80s (flirting with the 90s) and a staggeringly ugly non-conference strength of schedule of 295. Baylor also didn't make it from the Big 12, but the Cowboys were ahead of the Bears on USA TODAY Sports' final bracketology.

OSU beat OU twice, beat Kansas twice and beat TT once.

I'm guessing those two TCU blowout losses and also being swept by Baylor & K-State are what cost them. Otherwise, they don't have any real bad losses that I can find. Their OOC had three ranked teams on it (A&M, FLorida State and WIchita State) and they went 1-2 in those.

Nobody got snubbed. 68 teams made the tournament. Does the 69th ranked team REALLY think they had a shot to win the whole thing?

And I think head to head should matter.....
