NCAA wants to fill the stands and make money. ND will stay in Chicago region I would imagine unless they continue to drop games. As much as this board thinks the world hates UConn the best business decision would be to put UConn & ND in different brackets for a potetional FF matchup. It’s all about the $$ to them, they’ve made that very clear.
I meant no real challenger for the rest of the season, so both
I think with 3 losses, UConn leaps them. Their losses wouldn’t be of the same caliber as UConns, unless ND keeps losing, then that win becomes less weighted.
This is not necessarily true. The committee cares a lot more about quality wins than quality losses, and even a 3-loss Oregon team will have more quality wins than UConn will.
Yes but if UConn continues to click like last game the eye test will come into play. Advantage UConn. It will be interesting for sure.
Doubtful. Fans tend to overstate the "eye test" as a factor. That will never trump a qualitative difference in resume strength, and it won't mitigate the fact that SC and UCF are the only remaining top-50 teams on the schedule.
It’s UConn dude. When it comes to seeding, the fact we have that guy named Geno & possibly 2 All-Americans will carry some weight. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to say I told you so after it happens
Sort of 6 of 1, half dozen of another. Normally it's possible to look at teams that have good or bad matchups against each other and say "I hope we get a team who matches up poorly with us". But this year, every team has struggled, even against teams who aren't that good. It's part of the joy of parity!!
I agree with these rankings, and I believe #8 is Marquette.
Marquette lives by the3 point shot, if they are hitting from outside they can beat anybody. I would certainly think they are a 2 seed.
This. I don’t think they have a victory over a team in the top 25, and they may not get one. Close losses to good teams are helpful in Massey, but not to the committee.
Indeed.
Why do you continue to tell posters to stop when they post something with which you don't agree. Who are you to call something nonsense? Because she has them at number four does not mean she has grown any fonder of UConn.
