Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4875997, member: 9355"] Without reading past auror's first post and not knowing the teams (I will be biased to Big East teams) I would say... E, D, F, C, B, and A in that order of who should get into the NCAAT I think E, D, and F are a cut above A, B, and C. I chose E above D and F because their Power and Resume numbers are too similar to discern a difference, but E has the highest ranking non-conference schedule among the 3 and their Away/Neutral record as well as the Q1 (1A) Q2 records are very similar. Also, E doesn't have any Q3 or Q4 losses. D and F are similar but Team F has a Q3/Q4 loss while Team D doesn't. Teams A, B, and C are similar with their W/L numbers and their Power and Resume numbers, but C and B have much tougher non-conference schedules than A. I chose Team C above Team B because 2 bad losses (Q3/Q4) are better than 3 bad losses. I am now going to click the Spoiler button to see which teams fall where. Although I have a feeling Team B is Villanova and it's the overall record of 12-11 that gives it away for me, assuming I am correct. [B]Edit[/B]: I was correct about Team B being Villanova looking not only at the overall W/L but the strong non-conference schedule as well 3 bad losses gave it away for me (loss to Big 5 or Big Philly teams). I had no idea all 6 teams would be in the Big East. BTW, reading BlueJay Underground, Creighton's website, they are sweating that they could end up on the bubble of the NCAAT. The Providence loss was a gut punch to them. [/QUOTE]
