This is an idea I got from a post over at the Front Office Forums. This person was using WhatIf Sports to run an NCAA football sim, world cup style. I am thinking about doing the same thing for NCAA basketball. Now obviously there are way more teams in NCAA basketball than NCAA Football. I have figured on a number of 120 for this report. That's how many NCAA football teams there are.
The question is, how do I get those 120? I came across 2 options: I can either take all the teams form all 4 of the postseason tournaments (NCAA, NIT, CBI, CIT) but that would be 129. Then I thought about eliminating the 9teams with the worst records. Didn't like that idea either. So what I've decided to do is take the top 120 ranked teams as of the end of the 2010 NCAA tournament (assuming I can find a page that ranks all the teams.)
Would everybody be interested in something like this? Or would I be wasting my time doing it?
