How is this team even considered?

Shouldn't that be how it is done? Look at your good wins. Look at your bad losses. Look at the teams you are competing against for the at large bid (bubbles). You shouldn't be punished for losing to good teams. You shouldn't get a reward for playing bad teams. All that should matter is those games listed above. It is insane that people are stuck on computer rankings or Top 50 or 100 records (which are biased since that uses the worst computer ranking the RPI).
 
Who did you play, who did you beat is 1 of their big sayings.
