Non conference SOS isn't a signifactor factor with the committee
Bruce Rasmussen, selection committee chairman and Creighton athletic director
Dirk is correct in stating that the non-conference SOS has its flaws. It only takes into account the won-lost records of who you played, not where you played the game, not the outcome of the game, and most importantly, not the strength of the team you played. For instance, for non-conference SOS purposes, a game at home against 9-6 Penn has a more positive impact on non-conference SOS than a game on the road against 7-5 Indiana because winning 9/15 games is a better decimal than winning 7/12.
[B]Non-conference SOS is not a predominant tool in selections.[/B]
Again, while non-conference SOS is a number referred to by the committee and the public, it is not the non-conference SOS that the committee looks at but the non-conference games with specifics that the committee looks at. Did you give the committee a picture of whether or not you should be in consideration for an at-large spot or a high seed in the tournament if you did not win your conference tournament

Pretty clearly the committee sent the message this year they care about about the number of high quality wins a team again. See Oklahoma vs the Bonnies
