In response to bradley

The Tigers are currently #69 in the RPI. I am not a fan of that ratings system but it has been the favorite of the selection committee for many years (although unfortunately they seem to deviate from it when mid-majors' RPIs are very high). Look no further than the "bracketologists," who earn their notoriety by predicting the brackets that the committee puts together--last time I checked, their predictions tracked the RPI more closely than any of the other ratings systems. Of course the committee does not choose the top 68 teams under any ratings system (nor would we want them too) because some of the leagues' representatives are invariably ranked well below 100, sometimes into the 200s.
