It's a fair point for San Diego St.  They have the quality OOC wins that people often complain about when MWC teams are on the bubble.  The Houston win is far better than anything UNC had, and UNC had 7 games at that level to try to get 1 win.   [I]That being said Creighton is not stronger than UCLA.   Those wins are a wash no matter what Creighton is doing this weekend   (#6-#8 seed type teams, UCLA might get seeded higher).  [/I]The difference between the two in terms of quality really comes down to one big win - Houston.

To be clear I haven't decided that UNC should be in over any of those teams including SD St.     Just pointing out that 1-12 as a stand-alone is deceptive as compared to Indiana's 4-13 for example, which had more home win opportunities against more easier opponents.  UNC should have been able to win a few more of the 13 no doubt but that is why they are here.

Q2 games will often include SUB 100-135 on the road - same for everybody.   Bubble teams tend not to have a clean slate in such matchups.    Closer to 60-70%.   So 8-0 is still a positive.   But of course its less important than Q1 wins.
