*** The most interesting thing I draw from all this is that among the non-BCS NCAA qualifiers who "scheduled up" (defined as top 25 SOS among the non-Big 6), only Murray State made it to the Round of 32. And none of the non-BCS at-larges who scheduled up (Wichita State, Colorado State, Southern Miss & Temple) won a NCAA tourney game.
