"Team Under Consideration" is something of a technical term;
the criterion of record vs TUCs is supposed to measure your record
against "good" teams, so it wouldn't make sense to
 
        In addition, *any* conference champion (tournament or RS) is
automatically a TUC, regardless of their record.  (I know, this is a
bit at odds with my last statement, but that's how it works.)
 
        If you name Merrimack or Harvard (or Cornell, who are sub-.500
now, but would end up with a winning record if they won the ECACs) as
a tournament champion on the "You Are The Committee" starting form
<http://www.slack.net/~whelan/tbrw.cgi?tourney>, the pairwise
comparisons will be re-calculated with the new set of TUCs before
proceeding.  Here's how they look if Merrimack is included as a TUC
(but with no additional game results included):

which flip.
