It all started when you said that it exceeded your expectations and everything beyond that point was gravy. Even if you said, as you clarified later, that FOR YOU everything else was gravy, it isn't out of line for a poster to disagree indicating that they don't think FOR THEM (which they didn't need to say, it is assumed just as it was in your post) everything else is gravy. That is what message boards are for - expressing and discussing opinions. A disagreement on that point isn't cause for getting pissy. If you can't handle others having different opinions or disagreeing with your opinions, don't post them.
So because it's visible they committee gives it more weight? There are a crap ton of things on the nitty gritty. Why do you think non-con SOS is given so much weight? Last year there was no evidence of that.
Why are we punishing teams that keep their rosters together and are ready to go Day 1?
There are plenty of examples of the seed line being way different than the net rankings. It's a nice sorting tool but the committee has shown it moves teams up and down when it makes sense.
Lol, Lawrence is pretty much the west suburbs of Kansas City. Charlotte is 3 hours and 50 minutes from their campus in another state that's ACC country that couldn't care less about SEC basketball.
Your argument is State over distance, not mine.
100% they are. That's why I said at some point the results should matter. Yes, you should be "rewarded" for playing a tough team but when the NET result is a bunch of losses that shouldn't matter.
I RE-clarified later. My original comment started, "AFAIC,...". No assumption necessary. I have no issue being disagreed with (okay, fine...sometimes a little bit of an issue), but having my comments misquoted and misrepresented, like you did here, is not something I easily back down from.
Not really punishing teams, but what do you think is more important? Being great on day 1, or being great through the last half of the season where everyone is playing their hardest games?
