Purdue, UCLA and Davidson in over Texas? What is the reasoning?
Texas has the highest RPI/BPI. The toughest SOS. Their worst loss was either Stanford at home or at Baylor by 20+. Sure they only have a few wins against quality teams but they have no bad losses and play in the best conference in the country.
UCLA has a good SOS of 17 but a bad RPI (53). They are only 1-6 against the RPI top 25. They have losses to 15-13 Arizona State and 12-15 Colorado. They lost to Utah 71-39.
Davidson has a SOS of 141. They were 1-4 against the RPI top 50. They have losses to 12-15 St. Joes and 14-12 St. Bonaventure. Their best win is over Dayton.
Purdue has a horrible RPI. (58). They have home losses to North Florida and Gardner-Webb. Their SOS sits at 90. Their best wins are over Indiana and Ohio State.
