But without a quality win they are stuck on the outside looking in, meanwhile Texas doesn't beat anyone on the road and is rewarded for being mediocre in the Big 12. Just don't like it, Texas is not a great team at all.



Maybe so, but Texas didn't lose a single bad game, they are probably the only bubble team without a single bad loss.

Technically RealTimeRPI counts their road win @UCONN as a quality win, and they beat #14 Baylor and #20 WVU.

You can't punish Texas for losing road games to Top 20 ranked teams.

Texas may not be a great team, but they're pretty decent. They battled in just about every game with some really really good teams. They lost to Iowa State, @OU, @Kansas by a combined 9 points. I sure as hell wouldn't want to play a battle tested team like Texas in the first round.

I don't think that is much of an accomplishment. I see a team that went 3-12 against the RPI top 50 and that to me says mediocre team that had a ton of chances to build a better resume and didn't. They are just a team with a good RPI because they beat a few good teams at home, avoided bad losses and had a tough SOS thanks to being in a great conference.

They are very lucky that the bubble basically fell apart today. I would love to play to Texas in round 1, coaching is huge this time of year and their coach is awful and they don't seem like a team that will rise above any kind of adversity.
