I'm willing to concede the weak NCSOS, because it is what it is. ISU also had almost no trouble crushing nearly every team other than the neutral tournament. I don't intend to overvalue point-spread, either ... it's mainly that we weren't in serious danger of losing ANY of those games.
Again, as I stated in a separate post, if we're a 2 based on resume overall, so be it.

"Non-con strength of schedule rating." is how it is listed. But I don't know. You'd think they would track with each other...
Yep. When you consider that most teams are going to schedule like 5 real noncon games, we had 4 P6 games in our mix of those- TAMU, Va Tech, Iowa, and the big east challenge. We just had the bad luck that they all performed less than expectation and the conference assigned us a terrible big east game. That had nothing to do with 'choosing' to schedule poorly, as Kellogg asserted
I haven’t really heard anyone talking about this, but seeing it earlier made me 100% of the opinion we deserve the 1. Media types like Clark may not know it (because no other media person has pointed it out), but the committee will most certainly be aware.
I think the 1 seed talk is great, but I almost feel better being the 2 in the midwest, but this is crazy the way this has all played out.
playing well and we got a lot of help this week.

Honestly he is so analytical it confuses me lol, it would be an outlier to other ncsos ratings if it were that low as a true rating.
Unless there are 4 teams from the same conference in the top 16, in which case all 4 are separated into different regions.
This is why it would be big for Iowa State to nab a No. 1 seed: The Big 12 would have two No 1 seeds. That’s what the SEC And ACC fear the most. And if you look at this year’s top 8 teams: five are from the (new) Big 12 and Big East. We are doing to the NCAA basketball what the SEC and Big 10 want to do for football.
Clemson needs to STFU unless they are willing to schedule a home and home.
Speaking of the Big 12/Big East Challenge, ISU better get a damn good home game next year. UConn, Marquette, or Creighton.
Exactly, then remember last year when in November we played 2 blue bloods in UNC and Villanova, then by the end of year they didn't even make the tournament.
These idiots like Kellogg think we have alot more control over the non- conference teams than we actually do. Plus, with the Thanksgiving tournaments its a crapshoot who you actually get to play. I think the last time we played in Maui Illinois and San Diego State ended up being pretty bad that year.
It's a huge analytical operation over there. Could it be a mistake? Misplace a decimal point here or there...
