Let’s make one thing absolutely clear before we get started: it’s awfully hard for any bubble team to claim it has truly been snubbed on Selection Sunday. Louisville didn’t beat very many quality teams; neither did Saint Mary’s. USC didn’t have a win against a team that ultimately earned an at-large bid. Oklahoma State was ranked 90th in RPI and played one of the worst non-conference schedules of the season. All of these teams had it the opportunity to do something that would have landed them in the field, but came up short.
Having said that, there will always be snubs.
