In my opinion we should have a better seed tomorrow than the hawks
 


Yes Yes Yes. Thank you. I wrote the exact same thing in another thread. Another thing, we also rank ahead of Iowa in Sagarin and KPI, the other two metrics the committee looks at.
If Iowa is seeded ahead of us, it means that the committe valued efficiency and scoring margin (NET ranking) over all these other inputs that favor the gophers. We have been assured all season this would not happen. Right.
 

Where are you getting your SOS numbers from? The most recent NET Team Sheets show 86 for Iowa and 41 for Minnesota (which will likely improve slightly). Also, Minnesota will be 5-10 in Q1 tomorrow, not 5-11. I think you're probably right about the Gophers having a better resume, but our road record concerns me. Hoping we can snag a 7 seed.

I think one of the biggest things we have working in our favor compared to Iowa is the quality of our Q1 wins. We are 3-5 in the top half of Q1 games with one win each home, away, and neutral. Iowa is 1-5 in top half Q1 games. Most of the Gophers Q2 work is also top half which is good. I don't think the quality part of Quadrant wins is taken into account too often, and the Gophers do well in that regard.

I took the numbers off of warren nolan. It hadn’t updated after the game so I added a loss to quad 1 from today’s game and the overall record
 


These are all fair points. There's not a prayer we seed higher than Iowa. It's been baked into minds for too long that they are higher in the hierarchy.
 

Iowa would be favored by 2-4 in a neutral site game so there's that.

Nolan has Iowa 11-10 Q1/Q2 and Gophers 12-12. Iowa has advantage in away games 4-10 versus 2-9.

Gopher slight advantage in KPI and Sagarin and we smoke them in SOS. Also, the head to head win.

Seems like at worst these teams are even, more likely Gophers work is better. Seems like only way Iowa pulls ahead of us is through NET ranking - efficiency and scoring margin.
