it's official.

sooooooo.... if you can't make it into the field of 68 teams, than it's highly probable you would not win the national championship.

That should give those otherwise (3)-best seeded NIT teams an NCAA bid, but who knows how it will actually work out. Politics as usual...

Not sure what the worst seed is to ever win a national championship and make it through all the tourney unscathed. Maybe some team out of the top-20? I don't know. Probably not, but I'm not gonna go look it up..

Most likely Villanova in '85. They were an 8-seed. That was also the first tournament with 64 teams.

I'll worry about it in a few years when TCU actually has a shot at getting back in the thing.

That few years may be closer than we think, if a chance is the criteria.
