Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2505699, member: 1969"] Temple is the Arizona St of the bubble. They have played like crap in the regular season, but they beat Clemson and Auburn in the preseason before we know those were going to be really good win. They have 3 top 15 RPI wins. So the one thing they are not lacking is quality wins. What will actually hurt them is 4 bad losses which is a couple more than everybody else. A 4-4 quad 3 record is really bad. To be fair to those on the matrix, they had Marquette in before they lost to Depaul. That is a bad loss that changes the view on them significantly. Washington just keeps getting weaker. If I had to pick Boise St over anybody before today, I could certainly see the case against them. And if the committee is looking at power rankings that really does hurt Washington more than other teams. Their KenPom ranking is 96. I know this is not a standard metric, but I don't remember any at large having a KP near #96. [/QUOTE]
