Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3082915, member: 6620"] I've kept your -- and several other -- excellent post in mind while reading Charlie's constant updates. And I feel like Charlie has been media trained with an option to take on any tangible retort in the face of an overriding fact (the Vols really have not had enough success this season to justify inclusion). The latest: they've beaten another of the "debatable eight" twice. That would be Auburn, another team that seems to being force fed into our collective consciousness as "tourney ready." I almost found myself wishing that Penn would beat Princeton yesterday because Princeton had a better case than a number of the "debatable eight." Maybe that could cut down on some the the pretenders.... Normally, I try to resort to some kind of logical argument building in my posts, but since Charlie and his ilk offer us flim-flam retorts, how about this: many powers that be are selling us on certain teams in P5 conferences that they have vested interests in, whether they be rooting or programming. (Be wary of network coverage that also "cover" conferences where they have a financial interest. BTW, this will also be an issue with the ACC starting next year.) While WCBB does not quite have the pool of talent that the men's game has, it's growing and there are a lot of mid-majors I'd rather see than mediocre power conference teams. Don't think that will happen, but I'll watch eagerly to see what transpires once the tourney starts. [/QUOTE]
