Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4560791, member: 7492"] Actually I DO GET his role, as I said in my original retort, his “role is to generate excitement and dialogue“, he does not have ANY SWAY, with the committee. Charlie has actually done a good job creating dialogue despite this boards view he is anti-UConn. VPI is 12-4 in Quad1 games but their SoS is #31 and yes being on a hot streak and winning your conference matter so it will be interesting what the 12 person committee decides. The committee made up of conference team members who are given criteria and then argue their case for as many teams from their conference to qualify based on the criteria. There is a member from the ACC (Georgia Tech) and a member from the Big East (Villanov) so if UConn wins tonight and has a 14-4 Quad1 record plus a conference title and #2 SoS I think we will be placed higher than VPI. I will be curious what Charlie will have to say after the game tonight which could go a long way to either validate or refute Nan’s view on an anti UConn stance. if we win big, with our Quad1 record, our NET ranking, our SoS and an acknowledgment of our finally healthy roster, I do think we have a legitimate chance for a #1 and a better case than all but Indiana and SC. we shall see. But the main point stands that Charlie is creating dialogue and clicks, though not necessarily of the good kind for people on this forum. [/QUOTE]
