Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2548893, member: 6927"] This is a misperception. The committee's emphasis is on quality wins, period, whether they come in or out of conference play. We have seen how teams can overcome a weak nonconference schedule by scoring quality wins in conference play. The problem with Maryland last year was that their conference could offer them no high-quality (i.e., top 25) wins once they lost to Ohio State. If Maryland had beaten Ohio State (thus running the Big Ten table), they would have hit the 2-seed ceiling you are referring to. Baylor's ceiling is much higher because the Big 12 does in fact offer many opportunities for quality wins. I absolutely guarantee that if Baylor runs the table here on out, they will be a #1 seed. They might even get a #1 if they lose one game. [/QUOTE]
