But C only has ONE Top 50 win and it was in conference. And it plays in a WEAK conference (that somehow managed to earn it a Top 50 win).
But as someone said:

In response to Kit
The important point to note here is that, unlike most mid-majors with inflated RPIs, the power metrics are also with Princeton. If Princeton goes 13-2, it will likely sit in at-large territory at places like KenPom, to go with what would be a gaudy RPI around 30. The NCSOS and overall SOS, which often also serve as disqualifiers, would be fine (in the 100s).
To keep Princeton out at that point would essentially be putting ALL the eggs in the Top 50 wins basket. That's an awful lot of weight to put on one metric when all of the others are at-large worthy, especially when that metric is poorly formed (no home/road adjustment) and not entirely in the team's control (can only play who will schedule you).
I have a sneaking suspicion that, if we got there, Princeton would get in. Otherwise, the committee would be admitting that the only thing that matters is Top 50 games."
