Just read the notes from the committee & they made it clear of 2 things:
1. OOC was not really taken into account until seeds and especially bubble. So our bid meant everything on the home game. Keep scheduling for wins. Additionally. ILS was in almost exclusively because of the FBS game & Sam Houston was so low because they did NOT play a money game. On the slection show he indicated that the loss does not mean that much ...so we need to keep scheduling a money game until they change the rules.
2. The seeds are the seeds. They were made well in advance. They new the xDSU's were going to meet earlier than expected.
3. No TV games in round-1 or 2. Guys we need out.
Things I read into his interview ... 1 they were prepared to take additional MVFC clubs, but they were most impressed by the SoCon this year.
