Syracuse is 40th in SOR and MSU is 45.
Syracuse is 34 in RPI and MSU is 60.
If quad 3 and 4 losses are bad losses, than quad 1 and 2 wins are good wins. Syracuse and MSU matchup similarly there, slight edge to Cuse. And Syracuse also has the edge in the rankings above. I'm not saying we're a great team, I'm saying there's not 68 better teams than Syracuse, and there's certainly not 81 better teams, no matter what the NET rankings say
His point, which you're doing again, is lumping Quad 1 with Quad 2 to make it look closer. Quad 1 is better than Quad 2, so if they are ahead in Quad 1, they are ahead, period. Same thing lumping Quad 3 and 4 together. Quad 3 losses are understandable, to an extent. Quad 4 team are trash; you should never lose to them.
