You're leaving out conference record which is really important

Yes, Cal winning 6 of their 14 conference games vs. Utah and Wazzu who are 10-37-1 and 12-32 should have a ton of value in the selection process.

Conference record always has a big impact on seeding/host sites, the committee has said that for years. They tend to ignore a lot of mid-week non-conf and focus on weekend results.

It's the reason a team with an RPI of 19 could get left out the tournament but a team with an RPI of 41 gets in.

Yes, Indiana being 14-7 in the #7 rated conference RPI should hold more value than getting destroyed 3 times vs. Tennessee who is in the #1 rated conference all while having a worse SOS, RPI, and Quad 1 wins.

Kinda, I’d say strength of schedule is also very important. That’s why am sec team can go 13-17 in conference and still get in

B & E are two seeds for being at least .500 against the top 50

The rest are trash and it does not matter

He posted SOS, he did not post conference record. Again, it's missing one of the most important pieces of information per the selection committee themselves, therefore, no judgement can be made.

Again, that lone thing can be the reason why a team with an RPI of 19 can be left out for a team with an RPI of 41.

But it's obvious why he refuses to post it, not that it's a secret Tennessee is 12-15 in SEC play, and desperately needs a win this weekend to be considered for the tournament itself
