What does Michigans 30 point loss do to them?

Drop them to a 4 or no because it was OSU?

I doubt that's going to cost them a full seed line, but it may keep/bump us in front of them. MU has had things go well outside of FSU moving forward I'd say. I think a win for sure bumps them in front of us. The big thing that worries me about our resume is big wins and top 50 RPI record. Those aren't as good as some of the teams we are fighting with. We do distinguish ourselves by our RPI and no-bad losses though.

My sense is that we sit in the #10 hole on the S-curve, behind Baylor.  Three championship games count.  Cheer for UK over Vandy, NC over FSU and the Bearcats tonight.  All 3 of those can pass MU on the S-curve with a conference championship.  Michigan, GTown, Bucky and Indiana are behind us on the curve and done.

that was a dreadful performance, should drop them to a 4

If MU's 12 point loss drops them to a 5 maybe their 22 point loss should drop them to a 6? Especially since they were already at a 4

They'll still be a 3 and still be behind us, because they never moved ahead of us.

If their board is anything like our board, the loss is making their fans curse every player on the team, question their heart and intelligence, call for the coach's head, or insinuate he is going to be let go,   throwing the entire season under the bus, etc.   Or, maybe, that is just this board.   Ugly loss for Michigan, but OSU and MSU are clearly the best two teams in the B1G and this final is likely for a 1 seed.

I think the B1G makes an annual mistake by playing their final so late, and I think that tOSU and MSU will both be 2-seeds regardless of what happens. In the past, it seems like whichever teams are in that final don't have their seed accurately reflected. With Mizzou having 30 wins, s 4-1 record against the RPI top-10, and the Big 12 title, they have a case. UNC has a win over MSU, 29-30 wins, and at least the ACC regular season title. Kansas has the Big 12 title, a win over tOSU, no bad losses, and nearly half their wins are against the RPI top-51.

The easiest thing would be to just seed both B1G teams as 2s and be done with it, rather than reshuffling the bracket at 4:00 on Sunday afternoon. And if that's how they do it, it's the B1G's own fault for waiting until the 11th hour to play their final.
