I think it is a dumb dynamic to consider good losses more important than bad wins. You could have the number 1 strength of schedule, go 18-14 and be ranked ahead of a team who went 21-9 in an equal or better conference. So the 18-14 team plays a tougher non-conference schedule and goes 5-8 but 11-5 in a weak conference and 2-1 in their tourney. So that gives them an advantage over a team that won all 12 non-conference games but played a much tougher conference schedule and went 9-9.
Keep an eye on Ohio st. They're up on Michigan st at half. They've won 4 of 5 vs tourney teams. Winning the big 10 tourney is their only path
Luckily they still need 2 more wins after todayQuote:

As long as there are no upsets, but after today I will be happy with play in game. The fact Jans most likely has this team in the tournament is a miracle and he deserves to be in consideration for coach of the yearQuote:

We are in big big trouble with Vandy winning. They now have 1 less win than us but they beat us head to head. The committee will pick 1 of us
This is just not how any of it works.Quote:

If they win the tournament it could hurt us if the committee is set on 8 SEC teams.
This will be unpopular amongst some here but Vandy deserves to be in the tourney over us. I don't give a shit what the experts or metrics say, Vandy is more deserving than us and one of the hotter teams in the country.
It reminds me of the people that laughed about ND beating Tennessee in the super regional. I knew that would be a disaster because it meant Ole Miss was winning the NC. It’s similar in the fact that this could leave us out. I didn’t care if Tenn was “mean” them losing put Ole Miss as NC. Some people just don’t get it. Hopefully we still make it, but it puts us in a bad position
Vandy has to win it all to make it plain and simple. If they beat Bama to win it all I can?t argue they don?t deserve it over us, we had 3 shots to beat them and looked like ass two of those timesQuote:

Cmon A&M & Alabama
More like something mind altering with him.Quote:
