Message: [QUOTE="packwrap, post: 5189874, member: 13341"] Charlie and ESPN often misunderstood here. In his personal column Charlie predicted UConn this year as a final 4 team.:D In bracketology, that is not Charlie's bracket - it's his best estimate of what committee would do if they selected the bracket in current week based on their published criteria. Perfection is when the final bracketology matches up 100% with committee real bracket. ESPN does not have anti-uconn bias. In fact with staff based in CT, they are privately UConn homers. Sadly, as FOX has Big East games, at their JOB the ESPN staff have to promote teams and leagues that ESPN covers. Note due SEC tie with Tenn, UConn vs Tenn was an ESPN game, and received tons of pre game promotion and coverage. Oddly for ESPN, the UConn loss is positive, as it now again becomes a true rivalry, meaning future games are now worth more. [/QUOTE]
