What the numbers can't see

Who was availableA team's record doesn't tell you who missed a game. Injuries and player availability need context beyond the rankings.

The eye test and the roomTwelve people argue it out for a week. How a team looked in February, and who in the room makes its case, moves bubble teams.

The bracketing rulesGeography, conference separation and rematches pull teams off their true line after the seed list is set.
