I don't know how I feel about Davidson being ahead of us last week. They have ZERO quality wins. The only thing they are riding is four quality losses and two of them were at home:
NC 72 Davidson 68 @ Davidson
Duke 79 Davidson 73 @ Davidson
UCLA 75 Davidson 63 @ UCLA
NC State 66 Davidson 65 @ NCS
They have a loss to Western Michigan (19-11) and Charlotte (18-12), both what I would consider bad losses, howbeit road losses, but by teams BYU would probably have beaten. BYU's bad losses are UNLV (23-7) and Wake Forest (17-12) by point margins, but I don't see the SDSU (19-11) being that bad since it was on the road and close, but BYU at least has a quality win over Louisville and they have the same type close losses with NC and MSU.
Definitely an east coast bias issue. I can't see how it can be argued any other way.
I would consider the loss to NC state at home a bad loss the way that NC state has played this year. Davidson gets zero attention locally though as all the focus is on the 4 main schools in North Carolina. If they are getting some east coast bias, its coming from the north
