The Top-Ranked Softball Team In The Country Is Somehow Unseeded In The NCAA Tournament

Alright my Auburn brothers, let me see if I can sort out this chaos. I agree that comparing Auburn and Minnesota isn't possible, as our schedule was much stronger thanks to the packed house party that we call the SEC.

Here's the Gophers resume (54-3):

Quality Wins: at LSU, at California, vs Notre Dame (Neutral), at Fresno State, at Illinois (2), at Texas (2), at Wisconsin (2), vs Illinois (Neutral), vs Ohio State (Neutral)

Quality Losses: at Washington (2), at Illinois

Bad Losses: None

Note: I define quality as any team who made the NCAA Tournament, regardless of how they got there, since the NCAA SOS for softball is extremely difficult to find. Not to also mention that apparently the RPI ratings mean almost nothing to the committee.

Doing the math, only 26.3% of the Gophers schedule was "quality", and they won 80% of those games.

Compared to the bottom eight seeds in the tournament (Alabama, Baylor, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas A&M)

That team to the north: 56.8% quality, 48.4% won, no bad losses

Baylor:
