It is a big jumble of colors and numbers.

Many of the factors that the committee will use in selection and seeding are on this chart which is produced and published by the NCAA: RPI, SOS, record versus top teams, and bad losses.
They will supplement this information with both KPI and DSR rankings.
As I posted earlier this week, VT is #10 in both KPI and DSR.
Just win, baby.

5 times as many wins than FSU in the 1-25 column. Combine those two columns and we're 10-4 to their 6-4. They have more games in the 26-50 column but we're both undefeated in that column. If the conference numbers are the difference that's questionable because the conference games just started.

FSU's is 34, VT's is 59.
Remember that the RPI calculation is
25% team winning percentage,
50% opponent winning percentage, and
25% opponentβs opponentβs winning percentage.
Thankfully they are also using KPI and DSR which both favor VT.
