Message: [QUOTE="Golden Husky, post: 3052393, member: 8090"] Most Boneyard devotees agree that there are six teams--UConn, Baylor, Oregon, Louisville, Notre Dame and Mississippi State--in serious national championship contention...and then a drop-off after that. So earning a No. 1 or No. 2 overall seed should mean that the top two seeds won't have to face any of the other members of the NC Six-Pack in the regionals. That's a big deal, isn't it? Of course, as Plebe and others have pointed out, the 1 vs. 8 and 2 vs. 7 bracketing is [I]theoretical[/I] and the Committee may consider other factors in assigning teams to different brackets. But I'm hoping UConn maintains its top two ranking and that the Committee honors that effort by assigning the No. 7 or No. 8 overall seed to Albany. Wishful thinking? [/QUOTE]
