I agree, Hawks Coach. You could arguably claim Michigan was better than most of the teams with automatic births. Take out about 8-10 teams from that group, and Michigan is better than roughly 25 (how many automatics are there now?) teams that made the tourney (as were the top 8-10 NIT teams.)
FWIW, I can't stand Michigan and have enjoyed the fallout from the Fab-5 days. I bleed black and gold (Hawkeyes), and the only thing sweeter than a Michigan loss is an Ohio State loss. Except when it comes tournament time, then it's all about the conference.
