I'm going with Team B - guessing they probably have some early loses to really good teams with that non-conf SOS.
 








B

That road win% is impressive as is the SOS. Those 3 bad losses for team A eliminate them. C behind B due to that road record and nothing else really differentiating them from B

Would it matter to you at all if those were all Quad 3 losses and no Quad 4?
 






Let’s do the reveal before the Gophers rout Ohio State:

A = Drake

B = Gonzaga

C = Wake Forest

My order would be A, B, C (do ray me, 1, 2, 3 baby you & me). (Jackson 5 reference)
 

Hopefully I didn’t violate any of your rules SS! I knew right away it was my Bulldogs, so was interesting to see people’s takes. Sadly I think many people have the same views as MUgopher32 and a solid Drake team probably has to win their tournament. The whole quad system seems to make it tough on Mid Majors when you consider 3 losses on the road in conference play as “bad losses”. Then again Drake just didn’t play enough quality opponents to get more Quad 1 wins.

I had a feeling it was probably Drake, I didnt wanna look to cloud anything.

And I was almost certain C was Wake.

I really like this Drake team and would love to see them get in. And I would love to see Gonzaga shafted because they really didnt do shit with their schedule. But yeah, not having the brutal losses like Drake does really is huge imo.
