I very strongly believe that margin of victory should not be used at all to decide who is chosen. A berth to the NCAA tournament should be a reward based on performance: who you beat and who beat you. "A win is a win" is no longer true if margin of victory plays *any* role in a metric that is used for selection.
Margin of victory does in fact help you better predict future performance, but that's not the point. NCAA selection should be a reward for past performance (measured only in wins and losses), not based on the prediction of future performance. An undefeated team that won every single game by 1 or 2 points absolutely deserves to be ranked above a team that has 3 1-point losses and 27 30-point blowouts.
