NCAA seeding...
I didn't mind the job the selection committee did on the teams they left in and out. I would've put in Syracuse and Drexel and left out Stanford and Illinois (based on them losing those 2 players down the stretch).
But the seeding of these teams by the committeee was HORRIBLE! Some were seeded too high. Some too low. Too high (I mean for example if you're a 5 seed, you shoulda been a 7 seed) were Gonzaga, Butler and Tennessee Too low (for example if you were a 7 seed, you shoulda been a 5 seed) were Nevada, Louisville, and Winthrop. I don't have a bracket in front of me, so I could've named more. Feel free to add to the debate, agree or disagree if you want.

How do they justify teams that dont win 20 games getting in? I mean out of 30 or more games, 20 should be the benchmark regardless of SOS.

As bad as it is, sometimes I think the storyline gets a team in the tourney...for example, Illinois, funny how they're bracketed to take on Southern Illinois in the second round if both should win their first round games. Would be great to see SIU roll over Bruce Weber's underachieving Illini. Nothing against Weber, I love the guy as a coach, it's just a story and we all know the tournament is as much about the journey as it is the destination.

I think the NIT this year is actually one of the more interesting tournaments they've had:
http://www.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos...f/2007-Bracket For anyone that bets the games in the tourney you can learn a lot by watching this and seeing if any trend develops like Big East teams going 4-0 against SEC teams or something like that. Last year two CAA teams made the Final Four of the NIT and George Mason went to the Final Four in the NCAAs. A Missouri Valley team made the Final Four and Wichita St went to the Elite 8. There are a lot of correlations between the success of conferences in the NIT and the NCAAs although it is very important to watch whatever games you can to not allow any results where a team just quit on the season to cloud your judgement. |

Nevada - Creighton may be one of the toughest games in the tourney. I had Nevada as a 4 and Creighton as a 6 yet they are playing in a 7-10 game.

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10751 I just don't think a 20 game minimum is a good idea since you could easily have a 19-11 team be a lot better than a 20-14 team some year. There actually are rules preventing teams from playing so many games. You are only allowed 2 exempt tournaments every 4 years or something like that where the games only count as 2 towards your total even if you play 4. So getting more than 30 games isn't something every team is allowed. It would also create a situation where you had a 10 team league and the 6th and 7th place team both have 19 wins overall. The 7th place team gets to play the 10th place team in the opening round and gets their 20th win before losing to the 2 seed. The 6 seed loses opening round to the 3 seed. Now you are saying the 7 seed has become eligible by finishing lower in the leauge than the 6 seed. Getting a bye in your tournament would become a detriment. |

Im loving UNC's bracket right now...should be fairly smooth sailing to the Elite 8. If they meet G'Town, I will have great cause for concern.
