[QUOTE="gtrower, post: 785655, member: 375"] Sounds like I just might be more of a conference fan than you are - which is fine I have no problem with somebody cheering for Tech and caring less about the rest of the conference. I was raised an ACC fan long before I decided to go to Tech so still want the rest of the conference to do well (secondary to Tech of course). I think where it could come back to be an issue is at the cutoffs for seeds/hosts. For instance if UL/Miami/Tech all finish with around 28 ACC wins without much separation in the resumés are they going to give the ACC three National Seeds? How are we gonna compare the top ACC teams and top SEC teams? When the SEC has a stranglehold on the Top 4/5. Disagree with the “UL and GT biases.” It’s more of a weekend bias. Midweek losses aren’t generally a big deal. Weekend series are considered to measuring stick for teams. So UL lost a road series to #12 and dropped 5 spots (several teams behind them also fell which helped them). Tech won a home series against #5 and moved up 5 spots (ahead of those same teams that lost). That’s not really a bias. It’s a net of 0 ranking slots lost. Pretty sure the ACC had more ranked teams in the preseason than we have right now. After having the best OOC resumé in the country thus far. That’s weird to me. [/QUOTE]
