That has us easily in the dance, IMO.
Sadly, I don't think it does at all. If you look at the resumes of the other bubble teams, we're low in comparison. And there's precedence for this going back to last season with Iowa. Too soft a schedule, not enough good wins, and they were bypassed by a team one place below them in the standings.
That will get us a look, but nothing more. We need 5 wins. We need 19 wins.
Iowa's non conference SOS last year was 212. Ours is 111. Iowa had 9 wins in conference. We would have 10. Iowa was 2-8 in true road games last year. We would finish 2-9. Iowa's best road win was against 164 Northwestern. Ours is number 18 Michigan State. You can't compare us to Iowa last year. Every year is different. The minimum we could do is win all our home games, but every game from here on out is winnable.
for the love of god, the point I made was surely unmissable. it was a very simple statement: conference placement doesn't guarantee you placement in the tourney. Iowa was a recent *example* of that. There was no direct comparison made whatsoever, in any way, shape fashion or form. thanks for your consideration.
