Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3918517, member: 199"] While I think generally P5 conference mediocre teams are stronger than very good but not conference winning lower conferences, I tend to agree. I would rather see a team that went 14-2 or 13-3 and plays good basketball be rewarded over a team that struggled to 8-8 or 9-7 in a P5 - neither are getting to the final four, neither are likely to get to the second weekend. but do we really need to see 8 ACC teams, two of which had losing conference records, or a scintillating battle between the 8th ranked ACC power and the 7 ranked SEC power? With conferences now so big that they mostly play unbalanced schedules, you can now have a distortedly good conference record because you only had to play a single game against a couple of the conference powers while getting two each against the cellar dwellers. Alabama for example played two with SC, but only one each with TA&M, UGA, KY, and TN which likely kept them above .500. [/QUOTE]
