MTSU played 3 NCAA teams OOC (Auburn, USC, and Miami) and lost all 3. Further, they were 0-2 in conference against Marshall, the only team to make the NCAAs. They went 4-6 against the top 100.

MTSU had a good team last season, but their resume simply doesn't compare to ODU's in 2011.

Even if you believe ODU had a better resume, the point was still they were a 9 seed and MTSU was not even in, which sounds pretty remarkable when you actually look at the numbers.

ODU was 0-2 vs top 25
3-3 vs. top 50
10-5 vs. top 100

Middle was 0-1 vs top 25
3-3 vs. top 50
4-6 vs. top 100

Last year they were a 13-seed (I think) with a 35 RPI and:

0-1 vs. top 25
2-1 vs. top 50
4-1 vs. top 100

If you don't think the committee has a different set of rules nowadays, I'm not sure what additional data you need to see.

Yeah, those resumes are not even close.

48/45 KenPom
29/33 RPI

is pretty damn close.

Stop with the KenPom nonsense for the love of God. Just look objectively at the resumes, and they are not even close. Just like the committee said with their seeding.

How should we judge their resumes? Based on arbitrary numbers like top 25, 50, 100? Which, are done largely based on voters....

ODU had the 29th ranked RPI and a 23-6 record with a strength of schedule of 76.

MTSU had the 33rd ranked RPI and a 23-7 record with a strength of schedule of 86.

Anyone that wants to try to argue those 2 teams aren't very close is not being objective.

Haven't even got into how MTSU's non conference schedule included 4 total home games out of 12.

P.S. Clemson was a 12 seed, not a 5 seed.
