One criteria I do know is don’t lose to all the good teams you play against.

yes!!! and if the committee followed it, we wouldn't have this thread active!! and how much fun would that be?!?!

p.s. tld's definition of good notwithstanding.

See link: https://und.com/sports/mlax/schedule/season/2021-22/

Good team = the teams with an L next to the score.

play all u want. there is no more scoreboard. the acc should def be on notice but everyone else also... don't win your aq, you are on the bubble. conference tourney champs are all the rage.

loved it when they did those cigar smoke-filled backroom champs. what's old is new again!!!

Does ACC have an AQ besides UVA?

last year was uva's first aq. so obviously, no.

W-L record: Identical percentage ; Ohio State won 2 more games. edge Ohio State

SOS: edge Notre Dame

Results of the RPI: edge Notre Dame

Record against RPI: ND was 0-2 against 1-5, OSU was 0-3. ND was 2-1 against 6-10, OSU was 1-0. ND was 0-0 against 11-15, OSU was 1-0. ND was 1-0 against 16-20. OSU was 2-0. In total, ND was 3-3 against teams Top 20 in the RPI, which the NCAA considers “quality wins.” OSU was 4-3. Every team below is considered a “bad loss.” Edge Ohio State.

Average RPI win: ND’s was 32. OSU’s was 35. Edge ND.

Average RPI loss: ND’s was 7. OSU’s was 8. Edge ND.

Head to head competition: Edge Ohio State

Results vs common opponents: both played MD. Both lost. Both played UNC. Both won. Both played Michigan. Both won. Wash.

Significant wins and losses (wins against teams ranked higher in the RPI and losses against teams ranked lower): Notre Dame beat Duke who was ahead of them. Lost to OSU who was below. OSU beat ND who was ahead. Lost to Denver who was behind. It’s a wash

We’ve basically got a dead heat here. Except the two teams *played on the field* and Ohio State beat them. They beat them by 3 goals. No one saw the game and thought anything other than Ohio State was the better team. If you want to argue today, with your whole chest, it was a travesty that Notre Dame didn’t get into the tournament over a team that they LOST TO ON THE FIELD with a case that is basically identical according to the selection criteria laid to by the NCAA, then god bless you but I hope you find some better things to do starting with tomorrow.

Here’s the criteria by the way if you’re wondering where I pulled it from. Yeah it was close. Ohio State beat ‘em on the field. Maybe Notre Dame should win the game this year. That will go a long way. https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/champi ... andout.pdf

there is no edge here. it's w/l record. tosu also had one more loss. this is not debatable.

almost all of this is wrong. suffice it to say, nd won this going away if you figure out the actual figures.

this is not a wash. nd beat the #7 team 2 times. that's 2 wins. tosu lost to the #20 team while nd lost to #14. u wanna consider the latter equal, fine. 2 #7 wins trumps one vs #11.

Princeton had a stronger case in 2015 than Notre Dame had in 2022 but there was far less bellyaching…..really good wins but a bad loss cost them.

their really good wins were an 8 seed and 2 unseeded teams? and 2 losses to teams outside the top 20? it's tough being a fan.

The comparison was to ND 2022. What were the seeds for the teams ND beat in 2022? How many were unseeded tournament teams? The Lehigh loss costs the Tigers that season.

didn't have rpi data available or know where to get it. they were still using rpi data and nc$$ criteria for selection back in 2015. anyway, the nd/tosu/penn schedule may have run it's 12-24 hour course for now on the ivy thread.

so that's
6 nd
1 tosu
2 wash

and that's before you consider the emphasis referenced by our committee about big wins and bad losses, that everyone says we care so deeply about. which if we split the big/bad w/l stuff means 8-1-2.

so a question for you if you'll answer:
if a squad (or your squad), wins the criteria 6 (or more) to 1, and the 1 loss is a loss on the opponent's home field... and the opponent gets in... what do you think about that?
