No such thing as a good loss when fighting for an at large bid. It hurts more because PSU (depending on how they finish the regular season) could be one of the teams JMU is competing with for one of the at large bids for. PSU now has the head to head win.
When trying to snag an at large bid quality wins are very important as is SOS. There will probably only be 2 maybe 3 ALB’s up for grabs. ACC, Big 10, Ivy always multi team conferences, CAA (with JMU) sometimes multi team, Patriot sometimes multi team, PAC sometimes multi team, I think most others usually 1 team.
Going to be interesting, teams on the bubble fighting for the last couple of at large bids have to hope that there are no upsets in conference playoffs.
