That one win was a massive one for Virginia Tech. But the other 6 teams who all had quality win opportunities lost. Their resume may not be much worse, but for only 1 of the 7 teams to capitalize is good news for Syracuse. In the above group of teams that went 1-8, there was only two teams that played games against poor teams. Those were Washington and Boise St, who both loss quad three games (relatively bad losses). We will be ahead of those two on the matrix if we take care of business tomorrow. Whether the matrix = the committee, no it does not, but it's a decent predictive tool. [B]The teams from 12th last in to 7th last in[/B] These teams performed OK. Alabama had a good win, but Providence had a really bad loss. [B]Teams from 5th team out to 10th team out[/B] These teams all won, but none of the wins were quality wins.. all quad 3 and quad 4 wins. This teams were a clear gap behind, and these wins don't change that. [/QUOTE]
