Forget the quad BS - 20-3 and a win AT Duke makes you a top 30 team. It would have 10 years ago and it should still today.

I dont know I suppose losing to Texas Corpus Christi a 8-14 team who is ranked 312 screams top 25 worthy to me
Stats definitely underrate them. Their quad 4 loss to Corpus Christi cost them 50 NET spots.
Their 2nd best win is against Sam Houston State on the road. We have 8 or 9 wins better than that.
20-3 with a win AT DUKE, and I'm talking top thirty. I'm not even asking for top 20. The same dumb system that doesn't rank them anywhere still has OSU up there. Michigan is actually in one of the rankings. It's not supposed to be how good you're supposed to be at this point, but how good you actually are.
And if they're so bad then Duke losing to them should kill their ranking also, but it's just blown off like its an aberation - then why not blow off the Corpus Cristi loss?

Ohio State has beaten: Cincy, Nova, UNC, Penn State, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan
Stepehen F Austin has beaten Duke
Heck, Ohio State’s wins over Nebraska and Northwestern are better than any SFA win outside Duke.
Rankings are so out of wack. I've seen NOVA play three times this year. They're ranked 12th. They would likely finish somewhere between 5-8 in the Big 10 this year.
I'll be honest with you. I've seen SFA play twice and OSU at least five times. SFA is the better team. That's why you can't just use computer rankings and need to have a human element. Where would the '76 team have been ranked going into the NCAA tournament with their schedule using today's ranking methods?
The SFA Win at Duke IS an abherration. Duke beats them at least 9 out of every 10 times at home. Sh*t happens and that’s why the games are played. The team I saw at the RAC was mediocre at best. I’m sure they are better than that showing though.
