There are only a handful of 1 loss teams in the nation, Nevada a 7 seed? Obviously something you don’t like about them, but there is no way they are that bad of a seed.
They have one win against a Quadrant one opponent, while not ranking too high in the NET Rankings. On paper, I like this team but compared to other teams they are up against they just don’t have the wins the committee likes.
