I don't think Michigan St did anything "devious" or "gamey" - they just played.  
Is it better they got to their NET that way, then by abusing way (like B12)  Probably.  But it doesn't make NET any less flawed.

It needs some real tweaks.   As I have said for a little while now -- half RPI, half NET would fix a lot of things.   Both NET and RPI are flawed individually,  but the strengths and weaknesses of each tend to be different which creates a nice hedge.

[I][U] And it also needs to committee to focus purely on W and L's at the end of the day, and not standalone NET - and for bubble teams needs their quad edges scrubbed.    [/U][/I][U][I][U][I]Things the committee has always done which is why team's in the high 30's miss sometimes, and teams in the 70's [/I][/U]get in.  But avoiding a team that is at #25 is hard to expect.    Biggest NET aberration I have seen.[/I][/U]

But NET #25 - that will be really hard for them to ignore given who it is, and that add in a win like Baylor.   Do I think they deserve to get in - they are very close to the other teams, but I personally think they fall just short in a true W/L perspective if I was selecting.
