Probably in as like a 10 seed. All their metrics aside from SOR\KPI will be in the 20s
Most brackets had them as around a 9 seed going into today. A q2a loss probably isn't going to knock them all the way out.
Why Is Iowa out if loses to Illinois but MSU is in no matte what? Iowas won at MSU and playing better lately.
I don‘t like Iowa but it seems unfair if MSU is in and Iowa is out with identical record.

This is the best the Mountain West has probably ever been. The top 7 teams all have a chance to make the tourney. New Mexico rested Jamal Mashburn Jr. yesterday. I hope they take the conference tournament.
Michigan State in that case would have one more Q1 win, and its worst loss would be 60 Ohio State while Iowa has losses to 72 maryland, 95 Penn State, 97 indiana and 127 michigan,
Michigan state has 2 Q1a wins (14Baylor, 15 Illinois), Iowa has one Q1a win currently, 23 Michigan State (so a loss here by MSU could cost Iowa that, leaving them with no Q1a wins)
And MSU's metrics are all considerably better.
Michigan State actually played and beat Indiana state by double digits this year. Was sadly the few quad one wins for a very long time
I found a site that had the rankings as of selection Sunday. They started in 2021.
For 2021, Penn State was the highest rated that missed at #42.
For 2022, OU was the highest rated that missed at #39.
For 2023, North Texas was the highest rated that missed at #38.
Teams around the 38-42 NET right now:
38. St. John's
39. TCU
40. Nebraska
41. Cincinnati
42. Mississippi State
