[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 1005249, member: 2299"] I'm not sure which is worse, trying to use a single elimination tournament to make a claim about the overall level of competition between conferences or trying to use results from 5+ years ago to make an argument about why teams this year should have been gotten in instead. The next closest ACC team to being in was Pitt, and they played one of the worst non con schedules in the country, where their best win was the last place team in the big 12 followed closely by Purdue Fort Wayne. They also lost to a Mizzou team that went winless in the SEC. By almost every computer metric they came up short compared to the worst SEC team to make it. They weren't robbed of a spot. It's not about potential, it's about resume, and their's was lacking. The ACC should be making noise from a PR standpoint, but no teams left out have a great argument for being in, and the success of Duke/Unc/Clemson/NCSU isn't a success for Pitt. The reality is conferences don't play the games even if the money is distributed through the entire conference. [/QUOTE]
