Too many trees in the NW. They don't want Bama fans anywhere close.

Just curious, do any of the metrics take into account loses to bad teams? Obviously, teams get a lot of credit for wins against Q1 teams. However, do teams get penalized for bad loses. KU seams to have a lot of those, but it doesn’t matter.
KPI and SOR are resume metrics that take both your wins and your losses into account.
As far as the quad system, Kansas and Kentucky both have one Q3 loss. Kansas lost at West Virginia; Kentucky lost at home to UNC-Wilmington. You could debate which is worse, but I think the “Kansas has bad losses” argument has been exaggerated. Losing at UCF is not a bad loss. Kansas is just starting to accumulate too many losses in general.
Just looked at the NET rankings. You’re correct. KU doesn’t have a lot of bad losses, but a quite of few loses in general (10) to have an argument for a top 12 seed, IMO. KU is 7-9 on Q1 games and 6-0 in Q2 games. Three teams who I feel should be seeded higher are Kentucky, Duke, and Illinois. All have won at least half of their Q1 games and have higher NET rankings.
I guess we will know Sunday where the committee seeds KU. My fear is that they will KU a “3” seed and place them Omaha with ISU.

They remind me of 2016 ISU, the losses piled up but they were all good losses. We were 21-11 10-8 after a 1st round big 12 exit and got a 4 seed. I really think Kansas will fall to the 4 line too.
Most of what I have seen has us on the 2/3 line and Duke on the 3/4 line so I don't know if a loss for them matters.
Creighton losing and ISU winning should pretty much lock up Omaha I’d think
Seems like Omaha is a lock at this point, just a matter of if it's as a 2 or 3 seed. A win tomorrow probably assures a 2 seed but I'm just a biased idiot.
People need to stop caring what joe thinks. It's proven that he's bad at his job.
I see no chance KU gets a 3. Most likely a 4. Could be a 5.
Thank you mister helper. Not like we haven't already heard that 107 times. If you want to let Murph know he's got a call in show.
He moved Creighton to the two line. Moved us up back to the two Creighton back to the 3. Baylor or us 2 or 3 seed but I think both in Omaha.
Bracket Matrix has us as the last 2 seed with Creighton, Baylor, Duke and Kentucky behind us (UNC, Marquette and Arizona are also 2 seeds). Presumably before today's events.
