1. Virginia 7-1, 5-1
2. Villanova 8-1, 5-1
3. Xavier 7-3, 7-0
4. Purdue 5-3, 6-1
5. Auburn 4-3, 5-0
6. Kansas 9-4, 5-1, 1 bad loss
7. Duke 4-4, 4-1
8. Cincinnati 4-2, 7-0
9. Clemson 4-4, 6-0
10. Texas Tech 4-3, 7-1
11. Michigan State 3-2, 5-1
12. North Carolina 7-5, 5-1, 1 bad loss
13. Tennessee 4-6, 5-0
14. Ohio State 2-4, 6-0, 1 bad loss
15. Arizona 3-3, 6-3
16. Oklahoma 6-5, 2-3

Hard to determine, but even from this list you can tell they didn't exclusively look at Group records. Duke is above Cincinnati, Clemson, and Texas Tech. Virginia is above Villanova. Those examples are clearly not in order of quadrant records, so some fine tuning was done. But the overall list shows that Group records are very important, which is why I concentrate so much on that. And on aggregate, I think its not such a bad system, especially for one that doesn't use scoring margin.

Edit: Revised our record to what it was on Saturday
