Sorry you didn't specify what metric you were using.

That's fair enough. Unfortunately, the tournament selection committee doesn't really give a shite about where we finish in conference largely, other than maybe for determining seeding once selections have been determined. Prior to that, RPI seems to be the primary guiding factor... certainly some teams with lower RPIs get selected on occasion, but by and large, it's a good enough metric to evaluate probability of making it in the tournament from the conference.
