I hate UNC as much as the next WF fan, but they played a much tougher OOC schedule than WF. That matters because that is controllable. If a school plays a tough schedule, even if you lose games, it helps more than playing all home games against teams in the bottom quarter of college basketball; those results are essentially ignored by the committee as every team under at-large consideration would sweep Charleston Southern, William and Mary, Western Carolina and USC Upstate. I get why WF scheduled they way it did given WF recent awful history. WF needed a winning season, and even the most optimistic WF people didn't forsee WF as a top team in the ACC. Forbes has already said that WF would've scheduled differently in retrospect.
You should have to win at least one of them. They lost all of them. Maybe the got a bit unlucky that Michigan ended up not being better. And they have a Quad 4 loss at home.
WF has the same Q1 W (@VT), no bad losses, and a H2H smackdown. If it ended today, no sane person who seed UNC better than WF.
