[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 1005617, member: 2299"] Texas' non con schedule, while not strong, was nowhere near as weak as TCU's and their other metrics were better. But even if you want to include them in the same group as TCU it doesn't really change the overall point. The Big 12 got two marginal teams in same as the ACC in that case. The real question though is what is the strong argument that Pitt obviously deserved to be in over those mentioned? Is it just in conference win%? If so then that is a metric comparing different measurements since the conferences are not all equal. For example, Indiana State had an in conference record of .850. So shouldn't you be arguing for them instead? The "deep" run in the conference tournament for Pitt was winning one game after getting a double bye. Pitt could have been included over them and it wouldn't have been a big deal. But them being left out also isn't some huge travesty. And the single best argument for Pitt deserving to be in there is in comparison to UVA who they had both better metrics than and won at virgina by 11. They were also hurt by NCSU stealing a bid (along with oregon). How does UVA have a better resume than either of those teams to you? Is it just looking at overall record, conference record and being like, guess UVA is better? UVA's metrics are nowhere close to BYUs or TT where the worst of either BYU or TT's results based or predictive based metrics is 31 while the best for UVA is 32 with the others being 38,55, and 69. This is probably largely due to repeated performances like losing by 25 to duke, 24 to wisconsin, 25 to colorado state, 19 to wake, 34 to VT, 16 to NCSU, 23 to Memphis, 22 to ND. BYU had 4 double digit losses the worst being a 14 point loss to TT, and TT had 6 with two big losses by 23 to Houston (losing to them twice by the same margin), but the next highest being 16 and then 14. UVA also lacked as many top end wins as either of them. [/QUOTE]
