Some other games from today.
Arkansas was the 3rd team out entering today per the matrix so any loss to a weaker team hurts. (this was a Q2 loss). They are running out of time now. I think the question to ask with Arkansas is how was a 6-9 team in the very weak SEC in as of now on 29% of the brackets entering today.
There case entering today
#41 in the NET which is very good
5-10 on Q1/Q2 which is bad, (now 5-11)
4 road wins which is OK
0 bad losses which is OK.
To be honest I did not see them in at all, but obviously many did. To me those that had them in were overrating the importance of their NET.
About 5% of people still had them in today after losing earlier this week.
Their resume is very similar to Arkansas. Very modest after a good NET of 39.
We will see how important the NET is this year for getting a team in -- because that is their entire case.
2 bad losses
Only 1 Q1 win
7 Q2 wins is nice but their Q1+Q2 record was still just 7-11 entering today, so I have no clue why someone would have had them in.
USC may have locked it up with this.
Richmond was the first team out entering today. This is really a nothing game -- the win does nothing except avoiding a bad loss. The margin may help their NET get above 50 which may help the optics.
