Message: [QUOTE="fomalhaut, post: 4570113, member: 9423"] If the conference tournaments are so important that the winner is put in automatically (I am in favor of that), then they also should be important for determining how a team is playing going into the tournament. I can't understand how a team that didn't even make the finals of their conference championship (unless they were absolutely dominant up to then) can be considered a number 1 seed (that means LSU, Indiana, Utah, and Stanford). The same should be true of injuries. If a team who has suffered a catastrophic injury prior to the tournament, they are usually downgraded (this may happen to Notre Dame, for example). That should cut both ways: a team that suffered injuries all season, but has now returned to full strength and won both regular season and conference championship with that team, should be judged accordingly for seeding purposes.
