Cuse had a non conference SOS of around 16 iirc. The committee has consistently rewarded that. It’s why St Mary’s didn’t get in according to the interview with the chairman.

What the chairman didn’t address is how can St. Mary’s schedule meaningful non conference games? Nobody will play them. That’s the issue that nobody acknowledges. So Cuse gets countless opportunities to impress while St. Mary’s gets none. Note they were ranked in the top-20 a week ago.

The quadrant system makes it easier for the mid majors to get a decent OOC game at their place. You can go on the road and play UNCG and it’s a Q1 game. It was designed to make those kinds of games happen. Houston got games with both Arkansas and LSU this year and they haven’t had near the recent success that St Mary’s has had.
