bottom line is the committee saw two teams in the middle of the sec 1-1 head to head, MSU had the best win of the resumes but also (by far) the two worst losses., so what they usually do is say ok lets remove each teams best win and worst loss at which point they have the same best win while the worst loss for MSU is 106 and the Aggies worst loss would be 72(Mizzou) Bulldog fans surely thought the LSU win was enough to get them inb but The ***** the armor of MSU's resume was still that loss to Kentucky @ home. They had their chance on day one of the SEC tourney to get another top 50 win, the 8/9 matchup is always supposed to be the most evenly matched but 9 came out on top and those two losses sent MSU to the WBIT
One thing that won't be talked about enough is how quietly decent the Aggies non conference schedule was this season. Beat the top 2 teams in the SLC(Lamar) and the tourney champ(AMCC), played 3 top 80 teams and went 2-1 against them, no huge names, but the Kansas chip shined just enough that the difference in our resumes was hmmm ...
