Which team profile is better?
Team A-- 2 top 10 RPI wins 17 top 100 RPI wins Beat a top 10 team on a neutral court Won the Conference Championship Lost at St. Johns by 15 Coached by world's greatest D1 coach
Team B-- 1 top 10 RPI wins 15 top 100 RPI wins Beat a top 10 team away Not the Conference Champion Lost at St. Johns by 18 Coached by a guy who's never been to an Elite 8
Not looking at names, it should be obvious Team A should get a higher seed than Team B. You would have to be an idiot to disagree, but don't take my word for it, just ask the selection committee :)
Team A is Duke. Team B is Notre Dame.
Before you all go on about how hard Notre Dame's schedule is let's look at their SOS rankings:
Duke: 24 ND: 20
NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.
