It's the new normal... for the WCC.

So they weren't exhausted for the NCAA tournament?

Protects their NET rating

So the conference tournament didn’t bring their rating down playing a bad team

To protect their metrics

i'm ok with it. you only have 3-4 teams with even an outside chance of winning

Change I would consider that Zags should support is only inviting top 8 teams

Not a big deal to give San Diego and Portland a game

I got a slew of explanations a couple days ago.

How does it make it near impossible for the high seeds to win it all?

Ah, I guess you mean high seed as higher/greater numerical value rather than higher ranked.

It's because the bottom 7 teams in the WCC are really bad. Bad NET.

My confusion is high seed=poor season, low seed-=high performance

It's done to protect NET rankings of the top 3 of the conference. Makes sense.

Let's be honest. The WCC is 1 great team, 2 good teams, and a bunch of dregs.

Agree. That's the biggest issue that challenges the WCC national credibility.

It's to stack the deck so the best team wins the auto-bid

The best team already gets in every year. This helps St. Mary's and BYU.

Not really normal, but not exactly unique to the WCC. The old Big East
