Because Miami will still be a top 50 team.
Also, as has been mentioned by several people over the past few weeks it's really just a matter of "what is the committee looking for." Is there any question that Wake is around the 35-40th best team in the country at this point? Doesn't really seem to be. We've beaten every team we were supposed to beat and lost to every team we were supposed to lose to. If you're a fan of playing to your rank as a system, then we're right around 35-40. Similarly, if you're interested in metrics we've been right around the 35-40 mark for the past month (haven't been above 34, where we are now, and haven't dropped below 44 since the start of the LSU game). This team is by all accounts a bubble team and it's going to be interesting to see how a team who wins every game they should and loses every game they should stacks up against a team who knocked off a couple top 25 teams but also lost to teams worse than 75-100th. Wake consistently plays to its rank. KenPom is 22-0 on predicting outcomes for the Deacs.
So then KP should accurately predict us losing to any higher seed, correct? So what would be the point of the committee having us in the tourny if we are assured of getting bounced in the first round?
