The "road win" comment for MTSU was really stupid too. I hope the committee director was just talking out of his ass.
As BPredict and others pointed out, that's just him not having anything to say. They just come up with something or claim "the eye test" but he knew that wouldn't fly this year.
There's a reason I took the "I'll believe it when I see it" approach to everything that came from Bobinski and the committee this year. They pull the same shit every year. And actually, seeding and selection this year indicated that they put more emphasis on RPI than previous years.
