Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3880945, member: 168"] In the list you gave: [HEADING=2]Most important[/HEADING] [LIST] [*]Games by quadrant, listing results and upcoming games [*]Records by quadrant, away and neutral [*]Non-Conference Strength of Schedule (SOS) [*]Overall SOS [*]Overall road and neutral records [*]Non-Division I losses [/LIST] NCSOS isn't the most important. It's in a list of other relevant statistics including games by quadrant, etc. Win percentage as a raw stat isn't itself that important, but it factors into your NET, which determines the quadrants, which are the first two categories. Win% is also a major determinant SOS. The B10 got lots of wins against sundry OOC opponents. Their high winning percentage helped them get a load of Q1 games in conference. Think of it this way. Michigan is absolutely going to get a #1 seed. Their NET is through the roof. Part of that is that they played and won more games. Their OOC schedule wasn't something to write home about: 134 Bowling Green 255 Oakland 170 Ball State 104 UCF 63 Toledo UConn's is 302 CCSU 167 Hartford 14 USC If they were able to schedule a couple of games in the Hartford territory, it clearly wouldn't have hurt. And, it looks to me like it would have helped a lot, because you can do this through most of the B10. [/QUOTE]
