I've always been one of those that felt that the SEC especially and the Big Five schools in general have a built in RPI advantage especially in baseball and basketball due to thier litany of home games over the season especially in OOC play...

I know some who felt that UK was slighted when they were not selected for the tournament due to their sub 30 rpi - even though it was a BIASED rpi due to the SEC schedule

You get these schools out of their comfort zone (i.e. home parks/gyms) and they are JUST LIKE everyone else

Maybe they should change their slogan from IT JUST MEANS MORE to WE CAN JUST BUY MORE....
