No Miami O

My former wife attended Miami of Ohio for her undergraduate classes, but that is not why I think their men's basketball team is a paper tiger. The MAC just happens to suck this season, with no marquee wins against any substantial non-conference opponent. Auburn would have gone undefeated against this weak league. It reminds me of the year in football that Brigham Young won a national title. They went undefeated but without playing a team with a winning record outside of the WAC the entire season, including their bowl game. Don't sully your own brand NCAA by rewarding a team for wallowing in mediocrity just so they can be assured a lot of wins against the softest of competition.
