You are way off on Duquesne- that game happened months ago and I just watched them twice, they are MUCH better than they were in November. They won the A10, a league sending two teams to the Dance and not even their regular season champion, that'll tell you how good the league is. Of more importance, everyone needs to see only 4 at-large bids to teams NOT playing FBS football. Read the tea leaves.

We will see how Duquesne (#80 NET) fares against BYU (#12). Color me extremely doubtful.

In their defense, since they made the NCAA based solely on their A10 tournament win (4th best NET among A10, 6th in conference standings), it's not clear to me how that supports a PU at-large bid notwithstanding PU's far higher NET (#55). Not that NET is entirely reliable, but other teams with better NET that were excluded: St. Johns (#32), Providence (#57), Oklahoma (#46), Indiana State (#29), Pittsburgh (#40). With so many conference tournament upset winners like Duquesne obviously there were just fewer at-large spots available.

I agree the 11th seed is head scratching. Then again, I gather an 11 isn't any different than a 14 or 15.
