Your second point is true.  Sadly, I found myself cheering for Duke and North Carolina in their big games (and VT vs Providence) for just that reason.    How our conference does is critical to get  more quad one games.

The mountain west has been doing this for the last few years. Almost no quality wins outside of their conference, but it did not matter because laughably, the wins in conference were considered  “quality”.   While the ACC was losing the non conference games to the other power conferences, the Mountain West wasn’t  even bothering to play those games.  They proved it doesn’t really make any sense to play those games if you’re going to lose them. You don’t need to.

This year there will be a few more bids for the real conferences however.  Boise State lost to a division 2 School already, (quad five loss?)  so we likely won’t have to listen to all the experts tell us how “sneaky good” they are.  They won’t be a fake quad 1 win for Utah State.  Of last year’s top 5 schools, only San Diego State plays any currently ranked teams at all!  That’s pathetic.  But sadly with the net rankings, it’s proven to be a recipe for a success.

I hope this year the committee sees through that charade.
