BACATOLOGY: NCAA ANALYSIS 3/7......NEW UPDATE 3/12 1PM PAGE 37

They should’ve been in before this game honestly. I’m not sure why anyone has them out compared to some of the other bubblers. BAC - say what? How is a team like SF ahead of them?

22-11 - wins Auburn (neutral), @ Alabama, Arkansas (home), ND (neutral), Florida (neutral)

Bad losses (SC and Mizz)

You are caught up in recency bias

Before yesterday they were well behind everyone
 
Definitely
So is VA Tech and Indiana
VTech I don’t know. They have an extra loss over A&M and @Miami and UNC (neutral) are their only wins over so called NCAA locks and those teams are hardly getting good seeds. Like A&M, they beat ND on a neutral floor but A&M has 3 other wins over teams that are solidly in the field. Much better resume.
 
Because it helps measure and judge non power 6
But it doesn't. It doesn't in any way. They have a record against a schedule just like anyone else.

There are enough games and enough parity in college basketball (not to mention an autobid system that makes it literally impossible to get left out if you are undefeated) that you don't need this extra stuff.

and also shows how some power 6 load up on sisters of the poor
Sure, it helps you if you want to run some crusade against "bad" out of conference scheduling but it doesn't actually help you evaluate the teams.

No - I’m talking about as of this morning which includes everything to date. The win yesterday should’ve locked them in. Or at least it put their resume on a different wave length from the SF types anyway.
 

If this is correct, we are pretty much in regardless of what happens. Obviously we want SMU to lose and Davidson to win auto bid to make sure

Not safe..he has 2 teams out that are likely in now. Thats removing 2 schools. Rutgers isnt insulated from the first 4 at all..so as you see as each new school comes in the field it puts RU in more danger

True. By safe I meant in the field. I think we are destined for first four anyways and I’m fine with it.
 
BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTER SCHEDULES, OVERALL. NOT BECAUSE THE STRONG GAME WAS OUT OF CONFERENCE

If Rutgers was an independent but we played the same schedule, should we somehow be evaluated differently??????????

Look the committee has stessed NON CONFERENCE PERFORMANCES IS IMPORTANT..DO YOU CHALLENGE YOURSELF. DO YOU PLAY ON THE ROAD

ROAD WINS VERY IMPORTANT
 
Well, that saves us a win. VA Tech lose tonight and we may have a decent shot at a bye and will likely be in the tournament

But also you didn't answer the question:

Ignoring the committee for a second, do you actually think that

Rutgers (independent) 18-13, all out of conference, same schedule and wins/losses as Real Rutgers

vs

Real Rutgers (Big Ten) all the real stats

are actually different resumes that SHOULD (not would, SHOULD) be evaluated differently?

I think it’s important if you only have a few chances against top teams and don’t win those. Look back and you won’t really find examples of teams like Rutgers punished for a weak OOC. Honestly - if we lost the Clemson game and won Lafayette we’d probably be locked in.

Even then..

no one plays an overall schedule weak enough that they can't get in with enough wins.

A 30-3 Texas A&M CC has a shot at an at large bid
A 31-2 one definitely gets it
 
The only true bid stealers are the 3 A-10 teams not named Davidson, Tulane, VA Tech could earn a play in with a close loss to Duke. A&M was already in before today's game, obviously a given now.

SMU is higher in selection, but weaker resume, NET, Memphis better resume, NET but lower because of losses, SMU vs Memphis, it's hard to deny SMU with 3:wins over Memphis and Houston.

Indiana is in but lower than us, Indiana Q1/2 8-12, Q123 13-13, Rutgers Q1/2 9-10, Q123 13-12, they would have jumped us with a win.
