SOS is flawed. If you play a team ranked 225 hurts you much less than beating. a team ranked 300. We got unlucky this year as cornell Binghamton and st Francis ext have had horrible years.
Boeheim has done a masterful job last few years avoiding teams over 200 rpi which inflated our rpi. It's a joke. It helped us in the past and is hurting us his year

i would love it if nova is the one seed in our bracket. they haven't played anyone besides Creighton in 3 months and they got blown out both times. I think that after this year people are going to re-think the underling conferences and what overall records mean. nova and Wichita haven't won a game that meant anything since 2013.
This shouldn't be hard to understand.
Big East is #4 in RPI, below only the Big 12, Big 10, and PAC-12. ACC is at #5, right behind them.
Also, teams are judged by overall body of work, not head to head matchups.
Please do your research next time.

you showed us. good luck with your future endeavors.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to be a 2 in a bracket with Nova as a 1. Just beat the 3 and it's a cake walk to the final four, again. But Nova still has another @ss kicking coming from the big C so we both know that Nova as a 1 is a joke. Congrats on breaking the 30 year drought for regular season Big East champs though. I wonder what changed for you?? Oh, I know. All the good teams left.
Really, the last 1 seed is going to be weak.
Also, I don't get this "you ending 30 year drought" talk for the Big East. I don't play for Villanova and I sure as heck don't root for them. I was just pointing out a few facts.

would you put the big east top 4 against the acc top 4 and still talk about rpi? nova, Creighton, providence and Xavier versus Syracuse, duke, unc, and Virginia?
Oh, to be clear, you are on a syracuse fan board. I know that Nova doesn't have enough fans to have a board of their own. Come here any time. I heard that the Big East Tournament isn't even sold out. LOL
Sure you don't. You are a syracuse fan, right? With your 36 posts and all. Once again, feel free to stay. You don't have a board of your own.
Overall body of work. Not one game.
And I don't think the committee puts any stock into what the score was for a game at a specific point in time. Rather, they place the most emphasis in SOS, RPI, Strong wins (particularly away from home) vs Bad losses, overall winning percentage and how the team has played in it's last 10 games.
Regardless it may be moot if Villanova loses in the championship game to Creighton and Cuse wins theirs. It would be an interesting conversation, even though I still think Villanova (under those circumstances) has a slight edge.
The committee puts no stock on the last 10 games. That was ended about 7 years ago. Do some research

You lost all credibility, whatever there was, with your last 10 words of this post.

To be fair,Didn't we consider a lot of those big east teams to be quality wins when we used to play those teams in years past? Weren't a lot of people on here considering St Johns to be a big out of conference road win this season.
Villanova is a solid team with a lot of nice wins, but I still believe that syracuse has the better resume overall at this moment and controls it's own destiny in the ACC tournament to get the one seed.
