You're really going out on a limb there, Dusty!:biglmao:

This year's New Mexico team, which is on your list above, would be a favorite over this Kentucky team in Rupp Arena or at New Mexico. Creighton also has a much better team than UK and its seed will reflect that obvious fact. This is a very mediocre UK team that has not won a game ourtside of Rupp Arena since Nerlens Noel was injured. If UK gets an invitation this year, then the selection committee might as well just hold an auction next year and sell the seeds.

Your statement that each of the teams on your list would beat UK 9 out of 10 times is hilarious! UK would beat a projected 3 seed 9 out of 10 times? The Lobos may bow out in the first round, but they would have been heavily favored had they been matched up with the NIT-bound Wildcats.

Money is a factor in at-large bids, but Kentucky will not be the first defending champions who have not received a bid the following season.
