Hey - has anyone else noticed the talking heads and so-called experts falling all over themselves, stepping on each others feet, and shooting themselves in the foot trying to explain what's going on??
they are coming up with the most ridiculous comments trying to exlpain how their precious BCS programs are struggling so mightily depiste being given handsome seedings and tremandouse breaks on travel distances!!
I saw and read some real comedy material last night...Jay Leno would kill to get some of this stuff...
--they say the at-large field was weak but then try to justify why 8 or 9 teams from the Big East deserved to get in, and even a team like Georgetown that was barely over .500 in the Big East deserves a 3-seed - and most of those extra bids to the power conferences are sputtering against midmajors
--they say even the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th teams in the power conferences still are more deserving of an at-large bid, but are at a total loss for how the heck the 9th best team in the Mid-American Conference (Ohio) can kick 3-seed Georgetown's butt.
--they (Digger Phelps said this!) say the Big East has the disadvantage of having to play such a tough schedule all year and that wears them down and hurts come tournament time -- that's how Digger spun the Notre Dame loss to 11-seed Old Dominion, but then they want to exclude teams like Wichita State and claim it is because they played TOO weak of a schedule!!!
Come on - does scheduling hard disqualify you or does scheduling easy disqualify you...
If Digger is right, then ISU should have had a nice run at the end of the season!
--they say some of the mid-majors are recruiting better and getting stronger than most people except the insiders think (like St. Mary's, Xaver, Butler, etc..) - thus there's more unpredictability and upsets in the early rounds..but when it comes to handing out bids...those mid-majors with only 5 or 6 losses are actually in fact really weak teams and don't deserve a seed any higher than a 7, 8, or 9 seed
....so are they stronger than most people think or are they weaker - which is it experts??
--then they say those mid-majors should NOT have automatic bids and should be in a play-in round since even the top team in a smaller conference like Murray State can't possibly be compared to somebody in a big time conference with a Top 25 RPI like Vanderbilt..
