It’s just not a great measure of how good a team is. Now, of course, they will use it if it allows them to select a P5 program over a midmajor, but otherwise, it won’t count much.

Well Indiana State and Dayton turned into duds. Even VCU and Temple wouldn't have been great resume wins. The way I see it is we have 1 chance for a quality win against MTSU. With the way the committee has been selecting teams over the past 5 years, we would have had to finish the season with 1-2 losses to get an at-large. It is what it is, but the old regime that put a premium on RPI waz actually helpful to our cause. The NIT team a few years back likely would have gotten a bid 10 years ago, for example.
