It is understandable why you may not be paying attention to the selection process this year. The committee uses RPI to "slot"'teams that have made it into the field .... But uses a hybrid of KenPom, BPI and Sagarin for their actual "metrics". Zags are Top 30 in each .... 29 KenPom, 30 BPI and 21 Sagarin.
Twice during the current 17 (going on 18) consecutive NCAA tourney streak the Zags' resume was at a point where they needed to win the "auto-bid" to get in. They did so.
Barring an unlikely collapse down the stretch .... Top 30 in each of the 3 measures that are used should be enough.
But your concern is noted and appreciated.
