To help out ukforunc86 a little, I would say that PB04 is partly right ... they look at the team's overall record, and they look at strength of schedule when comparing teams who are "on the bubble" ... and for teams with similar records, they would look at the quality of their wins, and they would also look at the quality of their losses (i.e. were their losses against ranked teams or against weaker teams). I think they would also consider head-to-head competition if it came down to two teams close in these categories ... and I'm sure there are other considerations as well.

The UNC win over NC State was big, since they have similar records, and could be competing for one of the last at large spots if they both continue along parallel paths for the remaining few matches.

OK HELP ME HERE

Maybe UNC is a bad example because UNC has too many loses..maybe...unless they finish the season and win deep into the ACC tourney

But this Binghamton who has a 10-1-5 record and has not played a ranked team period...the opponents are 90-128-39 and those wins are against small programs..........

AND you have all those teams in tough conf ...ACC, Big East, Big 10 and out West who have 4,5 or 6 loses against good teams.....top 20

I understood that there are always some big programs who get into the NCAA because of SoS and tradition like last year UCONN but it still seems unfair that any program like Binghamton could get ranked or into the NCAA without playing 1 or 2 good teams...

Aside from the Diego comment being a laffer.............. Shearer rarely comes off of the bench.

He definitely could've picked better players to make his point with.

OK bad example but you guys know what I meant......you dont have to play 90 minutes to be a good player
