Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMost of the other games will be of little concern, but here are four others:
Rutgers vs WVU
The latter isn't as good as last season, and Rutgers may have a shot.
Pepperdine vs UVA
The latter hasn't been as good since MB and MD left. The former tied UCLA. Possible upset.
USF vs Florida
Should be close.
Arizona vs FSU
The former had a great season for them. FSU has been inconsistent this year.
Most teams that lose 2 players like that suffer:) A UVA "not as good" means they are "only" considered at max last 16 material.
meanwhile in the land of the eagles we are rejoicing as top team in NE ....LEVELS

Nope Im not the OP and Ty for making my point. All I said was that losing temas can still be worthy.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe logic here is stunning. Its a single elimination event. Luck plays a huge part. The better team that day advances IF you define better as simply who won, personally I dont, but thats ok.
To me, a team establishes its "worth" in the regualr season over a larger sample size of games. that is not erased if the lose one game in tough circumstances.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgreed, if you really want to know who the best team is, take the best 8 and arrange a round robin competition and you will know. Americans love Wild Cards, underdogs, dark horses, etc. Do nothing all season then make an improbable run, like NC St and Villanova did in BBall. Very entertaining but not a true test.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAs AD of UNC has said many times, these lengthy tournaments are more a test of endurance and not skill. So fine if you want single elimination. 64 teams do not deserve a shot at being National Champion. If you are #7 or 8 in your conference, you should go home now.
