Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3037027, member: 6034"] A couple of things. First, if there are, as everyone assumes, 6 contenders for the top 4 seeds, then what really matters is being one of the top 2 number 1 seeds. That will mean, as I (and olddude and likely others) have posted earlier, that those teams will avoid having to face another of the other 6 contenders until the Final Four (assuming, of course, that they get that far). That is a major plus imo, since I think it is very difficult to predict who will win any of the potential matchups between those 6 teams. And second, I don't think it's a good idea to say that Stanford is an easy out just because they got clobbered on Sunday. They have already beaten Baylor, after all, and they have a hall of fame coach. Other than one of the 6 listed above, they are one of the teams--maybe [I]the team[/I]--I'd least like to face in an Elite Eight game. [/QUOTE]
