Overall Rationale: Try to match efficiency metrics with quality of wins and losses. Basically an objective ranking, with an eye test tweak. This is getting brutal, I only had 23 rankable teams after going through every one. Nearly did the unthinkable and moved pitt back *in* on a 3 game losing streak, just for playing pretty well. Hardest part is obviously slotting BYU. I'm trying not to value head to head at all anymore, considering full resumes. So while I could see a case for as high as "just above SMU" based on 1-loss teams with head-to-head, the metrics are just so bad. I settled below the group of good 2-loss teams, but honestly they could lose again and only drop a couple spots with how thin it is at the bottom. Also need to point out how hilarious it is my 1-4 are all Big 10 teams and no others are even in consideration. Dropped out: Louisville (20, 4th loss), Washington State (22, bad loss), Kansas State (24, loss). New this week: UNLV (22), Iowa State (23), Memphis (24). Next few out, I guess in order, there is nothing here really: Syracuse, Kansas State, Pitt
