George Mason got exactly 0 votes in the final AP poll.

Ratings don't mean shit come tournament time. Albany probably ranked about 250 almost pulled the unthinkable the opening round. In the tournament its all about matchups.
The playing field is becoming more and more level each year. IMO, kids today aren't as concerned about playing for traditional powerhouses. They want to go where they can play ASAP.

However, I do think the ratings help get too many overrated BIG EAST teams into the dance. Because in everyones eyes if you had 10 or 11 losses in the big east you still were a strong team. I do not think Seton Hall could of beat a Creighton or Missouri State. But that is just my opinion.
