RE: Did the new selection system help mid majors?

MS ST & A&M were both 9-9 in conference. Supposedly, the RPI defined the differences. Still, a 4th seed in the NIT looks low for the Bulldogs. MS ST wasn't considered a bubble team for the NCAAs either.
Penn State is another that seems NIT low, given their season wins over OSU who did comfortably squeeze into the NCAAs.
NC-SOS was, supposedly, the moral of this year's story. TAMU was 11, Bama 28, and MSU 284.
That Louisville wasn't in the first-out group, and that Nebraska doesn't even get a home game was most intriguing. Maryland was the highest major snub...no clue what happened there.
