The committee doesn't just look at the negative. We also have 7 quad one wins.

There is a clear correlation between SEC wins and committee choices much moreso than RPI. Because RPI is partially about unpredictable luck. We could schedule Miami, USC, Texas, and if all of those teams are down it could tank your RPI.

Because here's the thing. You can win 17 SEC games and have a lower RPI than a team that has 15 SEC wins that you beat. So how do justify rewarding a team that has fewer wins and lost head to head because they had a more "difficult" OOC schedule which is actually kind of random.
