Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2096284, member: 6927"] All of the bubble teams this year had major flaws in their body of work, and deciding those last few spots required some nose-holding. In comparing the "last 4 in" (Auburn, Cal, Purdue, Northern Iowa) to the "first 4 out" (GW, Michigan, South Dakota St, Virginia), the difference that jumps off the page is that of quality top-50 wins. This was clearly the factor that carried the day, for better or worse. UNI's overall SOS (#120) was weak but their OOC SOS (#20) was strong. The committee surely gave them credit for challenging themselves in the portion of the schedule that they could control. And their wins over K-State and Creighton were a better pair of wins than what any of the "snubbed" teams had. [/QUOTE]
