Message: [QUOTE="Bear11, post: 2639171, member: 7934"] Yes there were some weak games, but that isn't exactly my point. If all else is equal, the conference playing a 16 game schedule will always have a somewhat higher RPI than the one playing an 18 game schedule. Sagarin and Massey were not fooled by this, and had those 3 teams significantly higher rated. I think Oklahoma State proved themselves this weekend. It is true that according to the NCAA criteria they did not quite meet the bar, but perhaps those criteria should be changed. LSU, Mizzou, and Georgia didn't exactly play world beaters in their non-conference schedule, but they got in without debate. Playing an extra 2 non-conference games, and avoiding a rematch with Mississippi State and South Carolina probably helped their cause there in the eyes of the committee. [/QUOTE]
