Do we yet have a single quality game? Maybe Kansas, until the very end, but then it's hard to call it a "complete" game.

Taking the #1 team in the country to OT in their house is ABSOLUTELY a quality game
Doing what's expected of you - or better - is what I define as a quality game. For example:
- Close loss to a highly-ranked opponent, especially on the road (Kansas)
- Drilling a team you're supposed to drill (Seattle, UNCW which was pretty much over at halftime)
What's not quality:
- Getting blown out by anyone not in the Top 10 (Florida, Wisconsin)
- Not drilling a team you're supposed to drill (E Washington)
So three of each. That's mediocrity at its finest, and that's not good enough
Seattle win was a quality game - look at their record so far
Can't be considered a complete game when over a 4 minute span you give up an 8 point lead and are looking at a 5 point deficit. Giving up a small run against a top team in the country is expected, but a 16-3 run is not part of a complete game.
