2018 NCAA Tournament Selection Criteria Changes

Things are constantly changing when it comes to how the NCAA Tournament is selected. The very useful KenPom rating is being used more and more these days, especially in place of the RPI. The Selection committee has changed how team sheets will be read now when they get before the committee:

The selection committee will no longer use top 50, top 100, 200 and 201 and above as dividing categories. Instead, the new terminology will be quadrants 1, 2, 3 and 4. The decision is to get away from treating every team the same if the game was on the road, neutral or at home based on their power rating.
