Auburn had the same # of Q1 wins, but fewer losses, and beat us heads up. I also think they were like 5-1 in Away Q1 games, which appeared to be a focus as well.
They've since gone 1-2 and are now comparable to us in terms of Q1 record.
So at the time of the announcement did MSU have an advantage in Q1 record over us?
Was auburn 8 spots higher than us on Q1 records?
I think the answer to both of those is no. If so that's my point. The committee just looked at overall records and standings before Q1 records if I am right

From what I count they were 1-3 when they were announced as 3 spots ahead of us by the committee. Clearly they aren't using the Q1 record if I am looking at that correctly
MSU ranked higher in the team sheets and still do. So getting back to Kansas... even a loss by them wont ding them enough in any of the measures to allow us a good chance at passing them. And because an OSU loss will prevent them from being a Q1/Q2 win for multiple teams, it is in all likelihood more beneficial than not that they lose
Was MSU 1-3 at that time in Q1 games?
And their RPI was low so I don't get how they were 11 unless the committee started with overall record and conference standings
Ive said several times - their team sheet super average rank is and has been higher than ours. Thats another metric the committee looks at. The overall rankings appear to be a combination of that and quadrant records - with more emphasis on the quadrants
I will say this I would make a solid wager that all 3 Big 10 teams aren't seeded higher than both us and Auburn even if we both exit St Louis early. The 6th ranked RPI league isn't going to get that much credit

I think Purdue, Michigan State and Michigan in that order...I think Auburn stays ahead of Michigan even with a loss to Alabama.
