I think now especially with the transfer portal & NIL it’s gonna be hard to judge a team the same year to year. I really don’t think it should have ever been a consideration anyway, but going forward what’s the justification?
I just watched CSU dismantle Virginia who won the natty back in 2019, but obviously this years Virginia team was vastly different not only from 2019 but even just a year ago after losing a bunch of starters. But did the committee really give Virginia the play in game because of their history in the tournament? I hope not but it wouldn’t shock me either. Watch CSU make a deep run this year and go on a long tournament losing streak again.
