End the OOC schedule discussion.....it doesn’t matter

[NewJerseyHawk]

Don't leave the RAC and play bogus games in Mohegan Sun, Toronto or anywhere else.

Run up the score and play Q3/Q4 like Iowa NC State and others do. You schedule too many potential losses like Michigan, Oklahoma State and others and you get no rewards.

 

[bac2therac]

Yes it matters

And its part not all of why Rutgers is put

Keep saying it doesn't matter

Rutgers losing to crappy teams ever year doesn't help

 

[read option]

If you’re gonna schedule weak OOC you have no margin for error. Swap two garbage OOC wins for one against better comp and we get in.

 

[bac2therac]

Ru lost a boatload of home games as well

It doesn’t matter. What matters is losing the games.

 

[bac2therac]

All the bubble schools had better ooc schedules

 

[ScarletWalk11]

NC State had one quad 1 win and got a bye out of Dayton. Didn’t have bad losses

Nonsense

 

[bethlehemfan]

We got screwed. No need to over analyze

We were favored against Minnesota, Northwestern and Nebraska late in the year

Win the games you should

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

All the bubble schools had better ooc schedules

The numbers don't add up.....if you don't play Temple at Mohegan Sun, there's 1 fewer loss on your resume. Look at the NCState and Nevada schedules.

 

[fluoxetine]

All the bubble schools had better ooc schedules

Ok? That doesn’t mean it matters. What matters is losing all the real games on there. If you schedule 7 cupcakes, Wake Forest, Seton Hall, Temple, and Miami and then lose all of Seton Hall, Temple, and Miami then yeah you have problems. But if you’re a tournament team you aren’t supposed to lose all of those, or to Nebraska and Minnesota down the stretch.

 

[Joey Bags]

you gotta be shitting me with this take

We literally play a bum OOC schedule

If it was a worse schedule we are in.

We stunk against Temple. The venue didn’t matter.

 

[fluoxetine]

This. If we played Coppin State 11 times at the RAC we would’ve been better off this year

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

NC State had one quad 1 win and got a bye out of Dayton. Didn’t have bad losses

Exactly.....they're not rewarding Oklahoma State for their OOC slate.....it's a shame at this point. NC State played no one and gets in despite getting smoked 3X by Clemson.

 

[RUTrack94]

Doesn’t matter what the OOC schedule is … in the end RU gets screwed either way.

 

[biazza38]

Nevada played Oregon and Kansas state, and then no one
NC state played Kansas, Butler, and Vandy. They have 1 quad 1 win
The OOC schedule isn’t the problem. The problem is not knowing what the hell the committee looks at. We HAD A NET OF 40

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

We stunk against Temple. The venue didn’t matter.

It does because your chasing the bogus neutral site win instead of just picking up the W at home...no one is looking at these sheets.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

All the bubble schools had better ooc schedules

And most were more than 5 games over .500

 

[wicker]

you go 6-23 v an NBA schedule you're not getting in

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Nevada played Oregon and Kansas state, and then no one
NC state played Kansas, Butler, and Vandy. They have 1 quad 1 win

I don’t want to hear the NeT. Doesn’t matter

Wrong

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

You can play these games, look at what the committee just added with Nevada, NCState. If your Michigan, Oklahoma State and schedule too many losses trying to pad a OOC that doesn't matter.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

We were a -1.2 wins above bubble

Pitt was -0.4

Everyone else was positive.

 

[mikeyoc]

Michigan State getting a 7 seed is a joke

 

[OriginalKnight]

Weren’t you one of the know it all geniuses that guaranteed we were in and crapped on those who didn’t agree for being too negative?

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Look, it is what it is.....I can easily argue there weren't enough wins or the Ohio State debacle etc

At the end of the day, if you subtract the Temple game at Mohegan, you're 3 rings higher, with Providence, who's schedule is very weak.

Anyone arguing Providence having an elite OOC schedule is not watching.

 

[ScarletWalk11]

It’s a different committee every year with seemingly different criteria every year. Who the f knows what they will value next year

 

[biazza38]

We’re 7-8 against the field
NC State is 3-4. This idea that our OOC schedule is “weak” is a random talking point. We had a solid schedule.
Certainly better than a mountain west or ACC, school

 

[fluoxetine]

Weren’t you one of the know it all geniuses that guaranteed we were in and crapped on those who didn’t agree for being too negative?

No? I am not a bracketologist for one thing. For another thing, I said I thought “we were still in Dayton and sweating” though I will admit I was pretty confident we were in by today. But we were in on the vast majority of brackets in the bracket matrix too, so, *shrug*

 

[kcg88]

NC State got a bye with the #307 non conference SOS

 

[bethlehemfan]

NC State got a bye with the #307 non conference SOS

Exactly

 

[DHajekRC84]

Doesn’t matter what the OOC schedule is … in the end RU gets screwed either way.

They have a list of reasons that they just pick and choose from each year depending on what is needed to justify the situation.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

NC State got a bye with the #307 non conference SOS

Exactly, fans arent paying attention, they just want to say RU played cool Holiday Tournament games. It doesn't appear to matter based on results today.

The key is getting to 20 wins and being .500 in your conference. Stop with this neutral game crap.....if someone tells me the ACC has a better league or schedule than the B1G, good luck with that.

Ok state beat NO ONE OUT OF CONFERENCE

Only 4 wins vs field

 

[G- RUnit]

This!! Ridiculous!

Pitt? NC State? Nevada?
Joke!

 

[bac2therac]

When you have 4 q3 but dont possess one quality non conference win of note
