Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4411812, member: 730"] Let me try and be clearer. Let's make a hypothetical bracket in which the all the top teams are on one side of the bracket while the No 1 team is on the other side with teams numbered 33-64. That No. 1 team would have a much better chance of making the final than if it was on the other side. That, to a lesser degree, is the advantage UCLA had in the NCAA's when seeding kept teams in their own region. Then imagine if only one team from a wcbb conference gets into the NCAA's. Any at-large teams would have to be independents. It would give a team like UConn an advantage. (And it would make the P-5 tournaments much more exciting to watch). And if UConn were in the ACC or the PAC12 under those conditions they likely wouldn't have been to so many FF's. [/QUOTE]
