How would you suggest a system incorporate 'how a team is playing right now' in a way that seems fair and legitimate?
I genuinely struggle to understand why people have an issue with the NCAA Tournament selection process. It is a group of people who are able to consider weird things that won't show up in the numbers but who have a data-driven system to help sort things out in that process. It is pretty much the best possible way to go about this.
