Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3883116, member: 6927"] People keep commenting along the lines of "such-and-such team didn't look like a top X team/an X seed in [insert one single cherry-picked game]." First of all, it doesn't matter if you or I think UCLA is a horrible team that doesn't even deserve a WNIT bid. The committee has them in their top 10 and that's because their body of work supports such a ranking. And even if they looked horrible in this one loss, it's still just one game. That's not going to override the entire body of work. UConn didn't look like an overall #1 seed when they lost to Arkansas, but fortunately for us, that was just one game. In my experience, people who reach for an "eye test" argument are just trying to substitute their own subjective (biased) opinion for an objective evaluation of resumes. [/QUOTE]
