uNC & GT; that will drop our RPI AND our other metrics (DSR & KPI) closer to 16 and give them a reason to keep us out
The need to win 1-2 would arise to add another top 50 and perhaps top 25 win
Teams not in the SEC with SOS low like ours (mostly out of our control) have been hosed in the past (so remember Minnesota only having 4 Ls and not hosting due to weak SOS even though they bid for it)
