Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5207785, member: 13446"] Not sure about this portion above. [INDENT]I would tend to believe if UCLA were to be paired with say the 9-17 Northwestern Wildcats team in the first round of their tournament and get beat by a dozen; they would be penalized for that loss. Particularly if they were to lose once again in the regular season to the Trojans. [/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]Further, if Texas were to be paired with say the 9-21 Arkansas Razorbacks in the first round of their tournament and get beat by a dozen; they too would be penalized for that loss.[/INDENT] I also think that there are possibilities that some teams could advance significantly in the seeding; perhaps not all of the way to a #1-Seed, but what would happen if say: [INDENT]Ohio State were to pair with someone like #23 Michigan State in the second round, and beat the crap out of them. Then go onto play the Trojans and beat up JuJu and Co. by a dozen! And finally, go onto beat down UCLA by a dozen to win the B1G Tournament ... I believe the committee would look at that string of wins in a very favorable way.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] Point here is that, there is still basketball to be played. It is getting close to the end, but not close enough that definitive predictions on seedings can really be made. Another thing that I hate to even mention but has a potential of happening is a major injury. This is about the time of the season when last year Elizabeth Kitley tore an ACL. Va Tech immediately went from a potential Final Four team to, well, not a final four team. Seems like the year prior, Olivia Miles went down very late into the season. Knock on wood! We've experienced our share of that, and it is dreadful when it happens. But the fact is that no team is exempt from that possibility, including those five who are currently higher seeds than UConn.
