I keep the faith with the report I saw a couple of days ago on ESPN where they interviewed a member of the selection committee. He said the biggest factors they look at for at large berths were.
1. Record AGAINST high RPI teams
2. How you're playing down the stretch
According to the report, they said RPI nor conference affiliation was much of a factor. My take is very simple. Auburn is hot at the right time. IF...they beat LSU this weekend, they're in...regardless. 21 wins and finishing the way they are...that equates to in the dance.
I missed that report but I'm glad to hear it...I'm keeping the faith for Auburn too...despite my earlier post on this thread.
By the way...it is great to see such spirited activity on the basketball forum!
