That exact scenario, probably never because I was pretty specific in the details.
But here are two 8-10 teams with resumes who made it and probably should despite having losing records in conference.

When you play in a deep conference like the ACC or Big Ten (in a strong year) with an uneven schedule, where with a conference tournament adding into your SOS, you shouldn't be penalized because 5 or 6 of your losses came against 3 or 4 teams in the top 10 as happened in the two cases above.
Now if there is a mid major that has more top 50 wins (our Group 1 wins as they call it now), then maybe you don't belong. But that's where comparing resumes comes in.
To just have a rule that tosses those teams out from even being considered or compared is poor absolute criteria in my opinion.
