Message: [QUOTE="jeff30189, post: 4944838, member: 11868"] While I agree with the premise of your argument, what gets lost in the data is that some really good mid-majors have a weak SOS and NET for the simple fact that the P5 conference do not want to play them. So yes, some good mid-majors are left with playing whoever is willing to schedule them, which inflates their record and deflates their metrics. The metrics are not an accurate representation of the quality of their team. Giving some sort of deference to ALL regular season conference champions rewards those teams who beat who was in front of them. No solution is perfect, but the David vs Goliath storyline (to me) is far more intriguing that watching a bunch of 18-14 power 5 schools who had all season to prove they didn't belong there. Of course this line of reasoning is completely decimated by the NC State men's team this year :p [/QUOTE]
