I praised UConn's resume in another thread. You have the better SOS and more opportunities vs. top 20 teams going for you, and we have the whole "haven't lost since before America ever had a black President" thing going for us. Michigan State has a great RPI, and their insanely mediocre conference somehow managed to cobble together some respectable top 40 RPIs, on the whole, though there's the "you lost to several so-so teams and got clobbered by UNC" thing they have to worry about. Pitt and UL have the "we swept/finished better than UConn" thing in their favor, if the committee decides to only go with 2 #1 seeds from one conference. Duke has a #2 RPI and may end up winning God's Conference. It's a mess.

Also, if you're going to count @Notre Dame(74) and @Cincinnati(85), then I'm going to count @Tulsa (56), @UTEP (84), and @Houston (87). And we beat Cincinnati. But hey, #56 Tulsa is way less impressive than #64 Miami!
