Keep telling yourself that records do not matter. Why don't all the teams that have losing records make it to the dance? After all, they scheduled the best teams in the country, but lost them all. You are the stupid one.

You are making yourself look ridiculous.

1) I never records don't matter. I said your schedule matters more than your record. Which is EXACTLY why the MAC hasn't had 2 bids since 1999. We are a 1 bid conference because we do not play in a top conference and we typically don't have very tough non-conference schedules (not consistently at least). While you see the B10 and ACC routinely get 7+ bids.

2) Back to my point about research, there have been plenty of teams to make the NCAA tourney as an at-large with unimpressive records. I think MSU was 19-15 last season and made the tourney.

3) Stop twisting what I said please. A team that is 18-13 that consistently played top teams will get in over a MAC team that was 23-8 (look at CMU in 2015). You're acting like I think every team with a losing record is quality. My point was you need to look at RPI and BPI, especially this early on when you haven't even started conference play.
