The real way the NCAA should be determining tournament teams

It’s a lot simplier than having Quad 1, 2, 3 and 4, and inexplicably counting everything from home vs #31 to road vs #135 as Quad 2, so that all of UNC’s road games even in the crappy ACC are Quad 2 (although @NCSU is barely Quad 2, and Miami and BC would have been Quad 3 if either is at home), while Texas’ home losses to teams in the #30-39 range are also Quad 2.

You just count a team’s wins over projected NCAA teams, and their losses to non-NCAA teams.

UNC is -2 in this respect. Losses to Wake Forest, Pitt, and Stanford; win over UCLA.


Texas is +5 in this regard. Losses to South Carolina and Ohio State, wins over OU, Kentucky, Texas A&M x 2, Missouri, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt. And Ohio State really isn’t out of the NCAA by much. (They’re more of a tournament team than UNC themselves is.)
