On off years (like Syracuse or Providence or Seton Hall this year): Just glide by on winning home games and the conference SOS takes care of the rest.
Oh, we have a bad injury (like Xavier this year)? No problem, look at the SOS and top 50 wins. Never mind the top 50 losses.
It is such a bull**** safety net it sucks.
But if you can't beat em, join em I say

Xavier played a very tough OOC schedule, 15 home and 15 away/neutral overall schedule...#9 sos in the country...they did not back off on OOC schedule toughness just because they joined the BE...there are other BE teams that do play a weaker OOC schedule...that #9 sos is why X is still in the at-large conversation despite having 12 losses.
X OOC notables: Missouri, Clemson, Northern Iowa x2, Wake Forest, Colorado, Baylor, Cincinnati, and Utah.
