Seems they are still missing something.  Let's take an extreme case where a
major player is injured and cannot play in the tournaments.  And to make it
even more interesting, what if the injury happens in the last game of the
season where the team loses the tournament championship and yet qualifies on
the current PWR.  Or what if they win and a post-game brouhaha leads to
significant DQ's, it seems they would still be in the regionals.  These are,
of course, extreme examples but it does get at the importance of looking at
recent performance.  Seems this is different from strength of schedule.
Thanks for your responses.  Bob Hamilton
