Team A and Team C.

IMO Most of these are closer to tournament-worthy resumes than yesterday's three. I see a lot more meat here.

I'm going to contradict myself a bit and take Team A because I really like the KenPom number there, and then completely ignore the KenPom number for Team C. The SOS and quality wins by Team C are too good for me to ignore.

I'd order them A, C, D, B.

Correct. Yesterday was more outer fringe-type resumes, except for Boise State.
 




The Results: Houston & Temple selected

A rarity, everyone voted for the same teams. I voted for A & C, as well.

Final Tally
A (Houston) = 5
B (Saint Bonaventure) = 0
C (Temple) = 5
D (USC) = 0

Here's a look at each's best wins when we add the name of the opponents.

Houston
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): #25 Wichita State, vs. #29 Providence, #36 Arkansas (total = 90)

Saint Bonaventure
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): @ #28 Buffalo, @ #35 Syracuse, vs. #52 Vermont (total = 115)

Temple
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): vs. #4 Clemson, vs. #9 Auburn, #25 Wichita State (total = 38)

USC
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): vs. #22 Middle Tennessee, vs. #45 New Mexico State, #58 Utah (total = 125)
 

I’d say B over c

I think A is #1 of the 4
