Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 3773414, member: 237"] There is a challenge here though. What determines whether a league gets two bids vs 1? Drake has to lean on conference play exclusively. The MVC was essentially two teams with Mizzou St hanging in the top 100. When you get to these smaller leagues it's just so difficult to figure this out. Look at the Horizon. Wright St is 71 in the Net and would have a similar profile to Drake if say Cleveland St was top 20 Net and they beat them. Drake is in effect in the conversation as a at large because of beating Loyola once. I am neither for or against the small conference at large argument just pointing out that Drake isn't exactly on their own here. Look at Colgate even.. pandemic has broken their numbers but as a top ten Net, sitting at 13-1 they are really a smaller sample size, loyola win from at large consideration. [/QUOTE]
