Message: [QUOTE="STLCardinal, post: 4187469, member: 11113"] They are gonna put teams where they want to and find whatever logorithm, formula, NET ranking or Charlie Creme fiction novel they need to back it up. When the Committee had Tennessee a No. 1 seed, Texas a No. 2 and Kansas St. a No. 4 in their January bracket it was clear to me that the only thing that matters is what the Committee wants to matter. You can make statistics say whatever you want them to say. For example, records, rankings and statistics will show a win by Texas over Iowa St. But it was an Iowa St. without Ashley and Aubrey Joens. Not the same thing. At the same time they say UConn lost to an unranked team in Georgia Tech. But they are ranked now. And not just jumping in the back for a week at a time, but climbing. The game is not played on paper. So play Tennessee because they have a good team and it makes you better. Win because you're playing good basketball and you don't like them and you want to beat them. Playing and winning to try to impress people that can't find their way home without a map is a waste of energy. Schedule and play to be the best you can. [/QUOTE]
