OK State would be just as good an option from the Big 12. Our only road feels like ND losing this afternoon while we still have some aggregate conference record advantage, and hoping a couple results fall for us to slide up a few spots in the RPI. It’s not inconceivable we could end up 17th with the wrong order of events today.
At this point, we should all be in favor of any black magic outcomes that make our regional easier. Making it to a Super, home or away, is so far from reality that it’s a bonus. Even if we have to travel.
I could root for Iraq against Carolina so this game isn’t tough. I will not watch any UF games, so I can say I’ll just check after and hope they won
I asked Gino and he said yes for sure totes unfair
He’s taking your calls? We’re saved!
yanno I had his number ll year just didn’t think to give him a call until 16-3
It’s always been a stupid format for a tournament. The 2 low seeds play, don’t throw their 1’s because they play on Tuesday and the winner just has to win 1 game against the top seed with their #1 starter and they are the home team.
Great point. I think the timing of the games matter. The teams that win game 1 and play the next day have the biggest advantage. However, having the tiebreaker is huge. It's just strange it hasn't worked out for top seeds. Perhaps it's because the lower seeds are more desperate needing wins to make the postseason.
If I were devising a format with no care for tickets and television, the lower seeds would play single elimination and then the winner would have to beat the higher seed twice. There are probably three or four reasons this will never happen.
