Voice of the Hawkeyes Board

And yet, head to head and conference standings are NOT part of the NCAA Tournament selection criteria. Wins vs top 50, RPI, and nonconference SOS are however and that's the difference. The point is that Lunardi simply predicts the field based on the Selection Committee's criteria and is right more often than not (I understand, not a great accomplishment) and doesn't deserve to be called a tool for accurately predicting Iowa as being left out of the NCAA Tournament.
