Carolina has lost to Wofford and VT.
No idea why you mentioned VT here as if that was a bad loss. That is a quadrant 1 game as of today, at least based on realtimerpi.com. Here are UNC’s losses:
#28 Michigan State at neutral site
#109 Wofford at home
#31 FSU on road
#1 UVA on road
#72 VT on road
#62 NC State at home
Here are State’s losses:
#135 Northern Iowa at neutral site
#13 Tennessee at neutral site
#85 UNC-G at home
#6 Clemson on road
#77 Notre Dame on road
#1 UVA on road
#16 Miami at home
I did not realize UNC-G has such a strong RPI, so that loss isn’t as bad as I thought when I first posted about it. Bottom line, we have one more loss and the worst loss.
And the quality of our quadrant 1 wins is weighed down by all of our quadrant 4 games. Consider:
Quad 1: State 4-4, UNC 4-4
Quad 2: State 0-1, UNC 5-1
Quad 3: State 4-2, UNC 5-1
Quad 4: State 7-0, UNC 2-0
It is those quadrant 4 games that are killing us – 7 home games against teams ranked 255+. Meanwhile, UNC only played 2 quadrant 4 games, against #197 WCU at home and #217 Portland at neutral site.
All of my RPIs are from realtimerpi.com.
