Well there's the advantage of having dominated the inferior competition. As I said about Indiana's (easier) schedule, it's not as though playing these terrible teams make them any worse. If they played teams more challenging, than they'd have fewer OOC wins, and they'd need to win more Big East games anyway.
If you say they have to win 10 Big East games to get in, that's a reasonable guess, that means they win 23 games?
If they instead played two or three more difficult teams and lost, would a 8 and 10 Big East Record with only 20 wins and no difficult out of conference wins?
Basically, the out of conference schedule doesn't really matter. In order to be considered, they'll have to get enough Big East wins that one or two is sure to be a big scalp to hang on the wall.
