OSU only plays 7 teams...i see them getting worn out and falling short. i see them elite 8 or final 4 at best

I can remember having to get up early on Monday just to get the USA today before it sold out........of course, this was before this internet thingy got big!!

I remember having to drive all over town, from store to store, trying to find a copy of the paper

Same here!! I usually tried to find a paper "vending machine" so I could get 2 papers for my 50 cents(back then).......1 for my picks and 1 for the actual winners.

Pretty sure our 12-19 record in 01-02 did not get us into the tourney...

Also, it was the 04-05 team that made the tourney, not 05-06.

Ah Yes! The good ole paper machine double dip. I know it well.

Pretty sure our 12-19 record in 01-02 did not get us into the tourney...

And nor did we with a 16-14 record in 2005-06; the poster is thinking of 2000-01 and 2004-05.

SDSU should be a #1 in my opinion

I'm still not a fan of the last 4 at large teams having to be in play-in games.. shouldve just expanded it to the other 2 16 seeds. Dont think a better team should have to get stuck with an extra game just because their conference was stronger, making them an at large instead of auto-bid.

I actually like it. If you put them all in the 16 slot, then the #1 seed will play a harder team than they normally would. Which would take away the advantage of being a number 1.

I remember making up a blank grid and furiously writing everything down. Now you can just pull it up within minutes. We are spoiled. :smile:

IIRC, i dont think thats how theyre doing it.

Washington seems a little low. I think that team can maybe go to the elite 8

I cant believe Georgia is a 10 I dont think they should even be in.
