Good counter argument  - let's hope we have someone at the table does the same when the bully supporting Wake makes his case.

Let met put on my Wake bully hat and try to counter your points.  (those that I am ignoring is because I can't argue... I may deflect them)

- One of 3 games is against UNC so using winning % does not make sense.   It's still a case of one having more opportunity than the other and the big difference being a made 3 pointer.  I think Wake could have beaten Syracuse, Monmouth, Virginia, and Florida St if it played them at home.

- You diminish the games against Richmond, Charleston and Greensboro, but it should not be diminished.   These were the exact games we said we would reward P5 teams with.  When we set this factor it was not too measure who was good or bad, but to punish and reward.   For the integrity of the system and to help smaller schools it is important that we continue to stand for this primary factor and not ignore it.

- And that RPI, come on guys, it's awful.   We ccan't let them in 2 years in a row with the worst RPI.  And this year they did not even on the road.

I thought the argument I had made above in my first post on this topic could come across as very convincing.  And someone could see it as tight and clear.  Or someone could poke it and put major holes in it.  In my response to Orange Nirvana all I could really do is deflect,

The reason I put something up was to  show potential  Committee Mechanics.  We are never quite sure what they might do, and the quality of the arguments / counterarguments.
