Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 3226528, member: 9267"] [USER=2117]@bballnut90[/USER] I agree with most of what you're saying. Louisville probably deserved to be over us (and they were). They shouldn't be penalized that harshly for one bad game. Although a really bad game and the fact that anyone could just say "we'll be #1 anyways, it's against Notre Dame win or lose, why bother playing at all." Still, despite that argument, it really was just one bad game by them and their highs were higher than ours last year. However, I think the fact that UConn had only 4 wins over teams seeded 8 or higher vs ours having 7 is a legitimate argument for putting us over UConn. Though I agree with you about Oregon and Stanford. And now that you bring it up, I do see how similar their final resumes looked, though based on my eye test I thought Oregon was overall the better team. That game at the Farm was too big of a disaster for Stanford to erase from your eyes even though Stanford boasted some huge wins during the year: in the Pac-12 conference title game and against the #1 overall team. And no arguments about your discussion on locations. Playing in Dallas is probably what most people are thinking right now, and I don't mind playing there but if Vic could reload his team up as well as he did last year, and grab some key wins on our schedule, and get into that conversation for being a #1 seed, I do think Greenville is definitely possible for us. Those are the two most realistic destinations - hoping dearly we don't get Portland again. ... [/QUOTE]
