Another Masking Activity

This edition of the masking activity features three different teams. All three are not from BCS conferences and two have been ranked regularly in both polls throughout the season. Last week's activity exposed West Virginia as a clear bubble team rather than a team being characterized as one on the 8/9 seed lines.

In this edition, I've decided to eliminate the Conference RPI indicator, as conference affiliation already heavily plays its way into determining overall RPI. To the best of my knowledge, none of these teams have injuries or suspensions to key players.

Rather than rank these teams from 1 to 3, I am suggesting something different. Can any or all of these teams get into the NCAA as an at-large?

Team A
Overall Record: 22-7
RPI: 26
SOS: 69
Record v. RPI 1-50: 3-4
Record v. RPI 51-100: 4-1
Losses v. RPI 100+: 2; lost @ #132, @ #200
Non-Conf RPI: 27
Non-Conf SOS: 141
Last 10: 5-5
Road/Neutral: 9-6
RPI Top 50 wins since 1/1/07: 1

Team B
Overall Record: 21-7
RPI: 42
SOS: 100
Record v. RPI 1-50: 3-2
Record v. RPI 51-100: 4-3
Losses v. RPI 100+: 2; lost @ #191, @ #186
Non-Conf RPI: 4
Non-Conf SOS: 7
Last 10: 7-3
Road/Neutral: 13-4
RPI Top 50 wins since 1/1/07: 1

Team C
Overall Record: 24-5 (D1 games only)
RPI: 33
SOS: 115
Record v. RPI 1-50: 4-1
Record v. RPI 51-100: 3-1
Losses v. RPI 100+: 3; lost @ #142, @ #161, v. #106
Non-Conf RPI: 14
Non-Conf SOS: 24
Last 10: 7-3
Road/Neutral: 10-3
RPI Top 50 wins since 1/1/07: 0

A ... no way.

I think B and C have very strong arguments and should be at the very worst be last 4 out.
