Thanks MT. Why wouldn’t the loser of the final game tomorrow get the at large?  Confused

Two scenarios. 
1.  #3 beats #2 in the semis;  #1 and #3 play in the finals, with #1 winning.  The NCAA decides to award the at-large position to #2 based on the season, not one game.
2.  #3 beats #2 in the semis;  #4 beats #1 in the semis;  #2 beats #3 in the finals.  The NCAA decides to award the at-large position to #1.

I believe both have happened before in MWP but I can't quote just when.
