Going into tonight Tech had a 64 SOS and 39 RPI while Pitt had 14 SOS and 55 RPI.

However, Pitt is just 5-8 vs. the Top 100. And while Pitt has a decent OOC schedule - a win @Maryland, on neutral courts vs. Penn State and Marquette - as well as a neutral court loss vs. SMU; they just have too many losses now. 13 overall and 11 in the ACC. Can't overcome that.

Pitt was in a unique spot that if they got in a little run - they would have had a decent resume. In addition to the OOC - they have wins against Virginia and Syracuse. While it would have been a longshot for them to get in - they are now 100% done.

Tech on the other hand is pretty safe. The RPI/SOS is decent and they are 9-6 vs. the top 100. Wins against UVA, @ Clemson, Duke, Syracuse and GaTech in conference. While a decent OOC slate of wins of @Michigan, Ole Miss, New Mexico (Neutral) and Nebraksa (neutral).

Tech's worst losses are @NC State (103 RPI) and Texas A&M (90 RPI). Besides that - their worst loss is #26 ND. Having 4 wins away from home against the top 90 is also solid.

Tech was in a pretty good spot - all tonight did was eliminate Pitt. Tech would have had to have a massive collapse to lose their spot
