Message: [QUOTE="Hump4Hoops, post: 3035202, member: 9350"] 1 - Louisville 2 - Baylor 3 - Oregon 4 - MSU UCONN and ND may both be more talented than MSU, but I can't justify spotting them higher looking at their results. ND has damn impressive wins, but 3 losses makes this one easy. Let's compare UCONN's resume to MSU: MSU 1 loss (Oregon) vs UCONN 2 losses (Louisville, Baylor). All losses to elite, F4 caliber teams. But 2 to 1. UCONN has a win over ND (6). The best win between the teams, but slightly devalued by ND's loss to Miami. MSU has wins over Marquette (8) South Carolina (12) Texas (15) and Kentucky (17). The quantity there really makes MSU's resume shine by comparison. Should UCONN be getting the benefit of the doubt at this point in history? Absolutely. But so should the Bulldogs. Going forward, with UCONN a spot above MSU in the rankings, does MSU collecting wins at USC and A&M, and winning the SEC tournament, beat UCONN if they win their only possible challeng left, in the Gamecocks? Even worse, does the committee send a 1 seed MSU to play in 2 seed UCONN's backyard? That would make economical sense, but takes all of the reward out of getting the 1. [/QUOTE]
