We all know very well that the seed doesn't matter. It's how you're playing at tournament time.

The ACC is not a good league and the middle of the road teams who want a bid are worried about their chances to get in, help the coach keep his job, help with TV ratings, recruiting, and all the business side of athletics.

All they needed to do was think about what UConn could have brought them and used their heads when they took Pitt and Louisville over UConn. The rivalry with Syracuse would have been good for the league and recruiting and if BCU had been able to hold up their end there'd be some good Northeast vibes to the league.

But they got caught up with the shiny object (ND), the promise of better football from teams that haven't measured up lately, and overlooked how Syracuse and BCU are like weak appendages hanging out at one end of their geography.

They had a chance to fix it last year but instead did the unthinkable by taking in Cal and Stanford along with SMU.

The B1G needs UConn in order to gain some credibility in basketball and they have enough teams for football already but that ship seems to be long out to sea.
