March 16, 200917 yr RPI Sagarin Midwest : 42.2 Midwest : 36.66 West : 53.25 West : 51.56 East : 51.81 East : 42.93 South : 52.81 South : 52.81 How did the number one overall get the toughest bracket? Shouldn't that prove that the selection committe doesn't go by the RPI and Sagarin ratings to seed the tournament?
March 16, 200917 yr Author Shouldn't that prove that the selection committe doesn't go by the RPI and Sagarin ratings to seed the tournament? No, it shows me that they weigh UofL getting to play at Dayton and Indy more than they do the actual competition.
March 16, 200917 yr Author They didn't. How do you figure? UofL (Big East Champ) MSU (Big Ten Champ) KU (Big 12 Champ) Wake (former #1 team) Please, feel free to top that...
March 16, 200917 yr No, it shows me that they weigh UofL getting to play at Dayton and Indy more than they do the actual competition. You may be right. Which way would you rather have it? Play a tougher team close to home, or an easier team farther away?
March 16, 200917 yr How do you figure? UofL (Big East Champ) MSU (Big Ten Champ) KU (Big 12 Champ) Wake (former #1 team) Please, feel free to top that... They are in with the worst #2, the worst #3, and the best #4....That seems pretty darn fair to me.
March 16, 200917 yr Author You may be right. Which way would you rather have it? Play a tougher team close to home, or an easier team farther away? Good question, probably about the same. But, personally, I would always wish to play the easier team.:lol:
March 16, 200917 yr Author They are in with the worst #2, the worst #3, and the best #4....That seems pretty darn fair to me. How do you figure? You never answered who is better. Who has three conference champs, and a former number one to deal with. Tell me which bracket is better.:confused:
March 16, 200917 yr Author I think going West might be the best thing. Especially this year, the West is cupcake city...
March 16, 200917 yr How do you figure? You never answered who is better. Who has three conference champs, and a former number one to deal with. Tell me which bracket is better.:confused: How do I figure? Pretty easily really. When you look at the #2 seeds, Michigan State is worse than Memphis, Duke, or Oklahoma. The #3s, Missouri, Villanova, & Syracuse are better than Kansas. I'll take the East or South over the Midwest.
March 16, 200917 yr How can U of L fans complain about not being more than two hours from home....these are home games for the Cards.....gut up, and win 4.
March 16, 200917 yr How can U of L fans complain about not being more than two hours from home....these are home games for the Cards.....gut up, and win 4. And with the cakewalk they have, that shouldn't be too hard. :thumb:
March 16, 200917 yr I don't think Wake is a cakewalk, though they do have a TO issue, which U of L should be able to exploit.
