I would say could have, not should have... Although Jacksonville will most likely win their conference, games like that are very important when it comes to getting an at large bid. Quality wins (as the NCAA defines them) wins vs Top 5 RPI, Top 10 RPI, Top 20 RPI (at least on the mens side) not sure criteria for women. Looking at last year RPI, USC would have a QW vs Top 20 RPI Team as Jacksonville was # 16 in RPI.

RPI and the Polls are not always the same.

Fair point, but keep in mind Jacksonville had the lead for a good while, but started to lose out on the ground ball game in the second half. Absolutely a winnable game. It's good to see USC finding some success, as they just haven't been the USC of old for a while.

Notre Dame has been a big disappointment for me.
