Selection Committee and Rutgers news

Not sure if this is positive or negative the way it is worded.
How would that be negative?
Read it again. Clearly a positive.
None of that matters right now. Win on Thursday and we're in. Lose and we are probably out, regardless of the OSU game.
To me that's very good news. I'm glad they're aware and that it should be counted as a W.
Indeed, strange wording: “they will consider Rutgers' controversial loss to Ohio State as part of their resume.”
Breitmen quotes two sources with two seemingly different statements.

wow....
I apologize for my snarky comments for anyone who said it would matter.
Gladly wrong.

that might assume bubble games go to form.....there are many moving parts here. whatever the probability is....this increases the probability that we are in with a loss.
It also increases the probability we are in field of 64 with win vs Michigan
If you go back historically,every time there has been an admission of a mistake there has been extra consideration to that game. Many feel that the Duke loss to Virginia is in the same boat this year. Not new news,but a helpful reiteration of policy by the Committee.
Yes wording - “they will consider their loss” as in consider it as a loss and not a win? Or “consider their loss” as in consider the circumstances of the loss and treat it as a win if it absolutely came down to it Team X vs Team Y for the last spot?
Body of work
This could be a bacon saver
Or at least break a tie if we are up against psu/wisky etc

I started this thread day after OSU loss. Lots of people wrong in this one with this news coming out.
Not sure how BAC and his bracketlogist colleagues deal with this. If the committee treats the game as a win we are essentially 95+% in the tournament
Maybe I’m off the mark, but that does not seem positive to me. I read that to mean that the committee will include the loss in its review.
You have every right to say “I told you so” and there’s a lot of proud people in that thread that couldn’t be bothered by your “ridiculous question” that now turned out to be true
Get ready for some major controversy if Rutgers loses on Thursday and then somehow sneaks in because of this. The teams left out would have a really good case, too. Having said that, I still don't think we get in with a loss Thursday. While the Selection Committee doesn't officially have an "eye test," we all know that comes into play. If we are blown out by Michigan like the last time we played them, that plus the way our season ended clearly shows the team in a tailspin. They'll choose someone else.
So they would leak that they would take a loss as a loss to the press? I mean don't we all just assume that? I think it's a positive.
We are 95% in if the committee has this as a win. That would be a jump of an assumption though.
For those, like me, who plan on traveling to the NCAAs we have 9 locations completely up for possibility

Correct, and frankly if/when we lose Thursday, I don't want Rutgers to make it. 1) We wouldn't deserve it and 2) All the negative press we'd get for sneaking in despite an end-of-season collapse wouldn't be worth another First Four appearance (and likely loss) in my book.
Well glad to be wrong . They are not going to come out and say we considered it a win though, even if they do
I would think this means we are in the tournament
In a way it’d almost be better long term to not get selected if we lose to Michigan. The controversy plus if we lose the first four game will make the narrative “Rutgers didn’t belong in the NCAA tournament” and you don’t want that thought on peoples mind in future years
I am glad to be wrong here, at least think i am wrong.
The difference between this as a loss or a win is so wide that we will almost know how they dealt with it when the bracket is revealed. It is a full +2 in games over .500
I used to think that. Not necessarily. Weak bubble. I’m hopeful
48 hours of controversy and then no one will remember it again but us and maybe a few teams that got the 1 seed in the NIT. We still get a banner and we still make it to the dance.
Sounds to me like they're still looking at it as an L. But what do I know. And would it still be a Q1 win??
That’s an interesting take… rings of some truth too…
Bac, DPwhite, Willis and a few others were very adamant and now very wrong.
Whatever let's just get in.
Stop overthinking it. It’s the best possible news we could have received.
If NCAA weren’t considering it a loss, why would they refer to it as such without explicitly correcting?
