Message: [QUOTE="orange79, post: 208852, member: 159"] I'll say it again. It doesn't guarantee they will make the field. It will, however, keep them in the conversation. If you don't believe this, you don't know how it works. I don't know what to say about "just because the rpi says UConn had the toughest schedule doesn't make it so". SOS is a way to compare schedules of teams that don't play head to head. Is it the only criteria? Of course not. But it provides guidance to the committee. The committee rewards high SOS, and punishes low SOS. Yes, they are on the bubble. But they have a lot to recommend them over other teams. Of course, if they lose to Pitt, they will need a run in the BET. At that point, they'd be on the outside looking in. [/QUOTE]
