Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3467146, member: 6927"] Raw number of losses is not at all a good metric. Seven of those 9 losses were to teams in the committee's top 16 reveal. Princeton and Missouri State lack the quality wins to be able to move up to the 4 line. Princeton's only top 50 win is over FGCU. Missouri State has a handful of top 50 wins but a couple of bad losses as well, plus their best wins (over South Dakota and Drake) aren't as good as OSU's wins over Arizona and DePaul. Indiana could certainly move up, and IMHO they should've been in the top 16 already. They have that great win over South Carolina, they now have 6 top-50 wins, and they have no losses outside the RPI top 25. I can't understand why the committee seems bent on giving them the shaft. But even if Indiana were to move up, the team they'd likely displace from a hosting spot would be DePaul, not OSU. DePaul can't really do much to move up at this point, but another loss could certainly drop them down. [/QUOTE]
