i'd be down, if you explain it more

[bigmac076]

i'd be down, if you explain it more
i agree, would you care to be a little more descriptive?

[etk]

Why don't we just wait til March Madness and have a bracket competition like normal? This sounds complicated and boring.

[NYGibril28]

I'm saying just get a few people to act as the "Tourney Committee" and just come up with a bracket of 65 teams. Once we have a bracket, just have people vote for the games until we have a National Champion

The only thing is that it is hard to do unless we have conference winners since they get automatic bids. Like Gonzaga, always seems a lock to win the WCC. Not so much of a lock this year, and if they don't win the WCC they are right there on the bubble.

That's another thing the committee could decide. We could either take the current leader or agree on a projected Tourney champion.

Seven sounds good to me too. How exactly are we gonna do this?

[GB12]

do you want to take the current division leaders in the smaller conferences as the the automatic bids?

I think every current conference leader should be an automatic bid. We also should get all the teams ready and then seed.

Bolded the Patriot League because Bucknell and Holy Cross are both 11-1, Horizon because Wright State currently leads Butler by a 1/2 game, but do you really think they would beat Butler again if they were to play in the Conference Tourney?

[GB12]

For the Patriot, I'd give it to HC because they have a better overall record and played better opponents. For the Horizon we should stick with Wright State, but Butler will get an at large any way. I'll start on an at large list.

[NYGibril28]

The reason I stuck in George Mason is that if NCAAB is any thing like NCAAF then they should benefit from last year's finish

[GB12]

No way for George Mason. You don't get in for being a .500 team in a weak conference with 0 quality wins.

Also just post the ones you removed.

Wait, are we supposed to post our #2 seeds too?

[KCJ58]

1. UCLA

Whats your reasoning to get rid of ODU, theyve been snubbed for the longest time.

The only two good teams they've beaten are Georgetown and Va Commonwealth, and they did a home/away split with them. They barely a barely top 100 schedule and lost to James Madison earlier this year. I don't think they deserve it.

I do feel aloy of sympathy, I live right down the road bassically and my dad went there. But I know that sympathy points dont win anything.

That's 5, and since three of those teams already had 2 votes, and we only need to get rid of 2, I'll get rid of the first 2, Mizzou State and Gonzaga.

Why, Missouri St. deserves to be there, they have a RPI of 34 and a top 40 SOS, that is better than all of the other teams up for elimanation

[NYGibril28]

Missouri State, Gonzaga or Providence


get rid of 2, I vote Gonzaga and Providence
