That is the GRF criteria (along with flux, I belive). I realize and completely understand WAB means ZERO to the committee.

Miss State got obliterated. We better flip spots with them.
No need. It is binary, you win or lose. Computers dictate how tough your schedule was.
NC State should be headed to Dayton if Clemson loses to UVA....if Clemson beats UVA, flip flop Clemson and NC State.....everyone should move up a spot, including PSU and RU.
My last 4 in are
Miss State
NC State
PITT
Arizona State
Clemson 1st team out, THEN Oklahoma State, then Nevada

A reason why it shouldnt it is 1/33 of their resume and it should be a teeny weeny difference whether they lose by 25 or 5. No one is looking at scores from Jan 7th.
That is a reason.....I, however, asked the question so i am hoping it was enough for somoen like Lunardi to flipflop. Lunardi is not on the committee, but it will interesting to see how he handles as MSU was 1 spot above RU on his pecking order
Ohio State is starting to freak me out a bit. They seem to be on a roll with nothing to lose.
Which I why I said your percentages don’t match your bracket. And I asked why..I guess it’s close…and thinks understandably can change. All good
Relax. They're NOT winning 5 games in 5 days. I'd bet my nuts on it.
(that's a joke.....)
Still gotta face Purdue and probably Indiana. Still uphill.
They get to Sunday and I'll start freaking. Nothing to worry about yet.
Okay...so what's the path to Albany? Can we get there directly? Can we get there via Dayton? Thanks!
Yes and Yes.
As an 11 we could face any number of teams in Albany. Still a crapshoot. I've seen us as a first four team playing Kentucky in Albany first round in a 6/11 matchup and I've also seen Albany as a straight up 6/11 game
Net ranking could be a factor in deciding who goes to Dayton out of the last teams in the dance. We were 38 this morning and the five point loss on the road to Purdue should not hurt much. Miss State was 46 but getting waxed by Alabama could do damage (see what happened to NC State last night after getting ripped a new one, they fell from 37 to 45). Rutgers Net of 38-40 range vs MSU in the 48-50 range could be a reason to send them to Dayton over us.
they still would have to win 2 more games...on fumes. Go get a handful of peanuts and relax
EDIT: Didn't see NUTS actually post. Maybe you should grab NUTS's NUTS and relx
I just have a hard time believing SHU tournament loss moving them barely into Q3 is the difference between Dayton and no Dayton
Everyone talks about how the committee aren't idiots and they dive deep into the resumes

It would make sense for them to send us to Dayton vs a team with a clean resume but no great wins. Like NC State. Basically what happened last year with Notre Dame.
Purdue doesn't appear to me to be the strongest mental team right now. I could see them cracking down the stretch. ADD to the fact Painter is going to play people no more than 28 minutes because his eyes are on a shinier trophy
teams sorted by WAB. We wouldn't even be a bubble team
Huh? RU had the worst NET of any team to ever receive an at large bid last year. That seems like the benefit of the doubt.
Kenpom after four games today: Rutgers #35, Mississippi State 49
So would Rutgers be better off losing to Wisconsin on road and beating Minnesota at home?he did it again!!!!! 4Q3 losses!
Take a look at Utah Valley. They finished 25-7. If we played their schedule would we finish 25-7?
Where it is flawed is I don't think Utah Valley could finish 19-14 with our schedule.
Actually looking at the WAC and their teams SOS makes me conclude the WAC is the ACC in drag.

Your asking the wrong guy....my answer is 1-1 = 1-1
However the correct answer is you can't have 4 Q3 losses.
Rutgers has an elite win at Purdue and a few road Q1 wins which are what the committee values most. That should save us
You're out of your mind if you don't think he wants the B1G Tourney AND badly.
From the graphic they showed today, Purdue hasn't won it yet, or at least for many years. I think they want this one. He certainly won't rest Edey tomorrow to save him for next week.
I am out of my mind and NUTS. Looked at the box score to show you Purdue minutes allocation, but got distracted....
RU starters combined +/- was +6
RU bench combined +/- was -31
Painter has his eyes on both. I don't think tomorrow you will see anyone play over 32 minutes (unless there is OT)
That would support the thinking that Painter doesn't value B1Gt titles as he has had many teams that were good enough.
