I could say the exact opposite. If Gtown played chumps, they'd have a better record.
You could say that, but you wouldn't say that based on statistical facts. Thus its an argument of a qualitative nature, which is fine. But it is messed up when the main statistical method used to rank teams by the selection committee is tweaked to emphasize that type of argument.

Record and then RPI are the 2 most important measures I'd say. They also look at big wins and how a team has played down the stretch. Tenn has a substantially higher RPI than LSU, but I don't think anyone in his right mind would say Tenn is a better team than LSU.
