Although you know, the distrubition seems funny when there are [B]11[/B] majors, just [B]5[/B] mid-majors, and [B]15[/B] low-majors.
In my opinion, if you average 3 or more bids a year, you’re a major conference.
If you average 1 or 2 a year, you’re a mid-major.
If you’re a one-bid conference, you’re a low-major.
That’s makes the distribution 8 majors, 8 mid-majors, and 15 low-majors. That makes more sense to me.
Oh my god, I don’t even give a flying ****. Can we please stop talking about this? Good lord.
The whole point to me is even if you figure out a proportionate distribution, what does it accomplish? If a “mid-major” beats a “major” does it change their RPI calculation? No. If a “mid-major” wins a game in the NCAA tourney do they get more money because they were suppose to lose? No. The term accomplishes nothing.

Exactly. It serves the interest of nobody except the Wal-Mart fans of so-called “BCS” leagues, and gives them a reason to think of themselves as higher and better than everyone else. It’s retarted, and it’s why I applaud Xavier for turning down the award for Drew Lavender.
