The truth about SMU
I was really surprised that SMU got snubbed. I also think its ridiculous that NC State got in the field. However, on closer look, SMU has less to complain about than they think, and Ill admit I was a little blinded to.
1) OOC Schedule. First, I can't blame SMU or Brown for their bad scheduling as much as Pastner, because we knew we would be fighting for a decent seed, and SMU not as much. They far exceeding expectations. Next year, they need to be smarter about how they schedule
RPI of SMU's OOC Schedule:
8 (Virginia)
77
112
135
149
155
211
264
272
277
307
312
315
Worst OOC Schedules in the top 100 of the RPI
1) Utah
2) Stephen F Austin
3) SMU
2) RPI top 100 potential At Large teams with a sub 200 RPI loss
UCLA
Syracuse
Toledo

All of the above have more than double SMUs top 100 wins with the exception of Toledo
3) American conference losses to the bottom 4 teams
Louisville 0
Cincy 0
