Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5218456, member: 13446"] That is right; the color of the uniform that the #4 gets to wear in the Elite 8 game! I am still counting all of the huge :confused: advantages that the fourth ranked team gets over the fifth ranked team when the final seeding of the bracket comes out. So we have: [LIST] [*]Color of the uniform that the 'home' team would get to wear at a neutral venue game, assuming they each make it to the Elite 8, [*]The locker rooms that each may be assigned at this neutral venue, which has the potential to produce how many extra points? [*]And then finally, the 'home' team gets to sit on the right side of the scorer's table whereas that fifth ranked team is relegated to the chairs on the left side. Boogers! [/LIST] Other than that, the one team in theory would have to play a team from a pool of 4-seeds while the other would have to play a team out of the pool of 3-seeds in the Sweet 16. Is there really going to be that much more competition, by having to beat a North Carolina team as opposed to having to beat a Kentucky team to get to the Elite 8? They are both good teams, but in both situations those are teams that either the fourth or fifth ranked teams on the bracket should beat by double figures. So, what are we really talking about here?
