You may not, but the committee has said many times bad losses/quality wins is maybe the biggest factor they look at.

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.


And their OOC was strong, NDSU, @UCONN, Kentucky...those all boost the RPI as well, especially Kentucky.

I will always prefer rewarding a team that has played a gauntlet of a schedule over a team that plays much much weaker competition.

Their OOC is solid. But I guess we just have different viewpoints, I don't think they are really that impressive but they are definitely going to be in the field. If Murray had a solid quality win or Tulsa didn't lose to ORU it might be a bit more interesting. But those teams don't have that and even if Tulsa makes a run in the AAC tournament to bolster their resume I don't think Texas is even the team that could get bumped out.

But again I don't think going 3-12 against top 50 teams is that great, I think their RPI is kind of inflated by their conference and avoiding bad losses.
