It's why the raw strength of schedule crap (i.e. you fellas chirping about that OSU win) is just stupid. Context matters.
But hey - KENPOM! Right?

Sure, it matters on a message board... does it matter to the committe though? Outside of something obvious, like KU beating OSU without Sulliger, I doubt they really look into each game and how each team was playing at the time. IIRC, KU only moved up like one spot for beating OSU and didn't jump them in the polls, and I believe OSU has always been higher in kenpom... so, any of those assumptions regarding what they were ranked at the time, who wasn't playing, etc; was already taken into account when they played.
