There is a difference in saying a team can make it vs saying they are a lock. If the committee actually looks behind the curtain, IMO they don't take FAU. CUSA doesn't get multi bids. Nothing from looking at their schedule warrants a bid. What do they have going for them outside of the NET?

Again the Q1/2 data is based off the NET. It is all garbage. Ole Miss is not a good team. Isn't the point to get the best at large teams? The only thing giving FAU a chance is their NET which is a biased BS metric. There is nothing from their resume to prove they would be anything better than a bottom P5 team had they played a P5 schedule.

Taking away the B1G games (just OOC), Rutgers played harder teams that FAU's entire schedule. I don't think Rutgers deserves a bid ending the year 2-9. But they deserve it more than FAU. Their "bad" losses are teams that are better than FAU.

FAU's OOC was a joke. You cannot reward a mid major for that. How many games have they played vs NCAAT teams this year? The answer if they lose their conf tourney is TWO. You cannot get lower than that as an at large. And if UAB Ws, FAU will have all of ONE win vs the NCAAT field. That would have to be the lowest of all time for an at large. If you look at their schedule it is absolutely insane that their NET ranking is Top 100 let alone where they are.
