[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1005801, member: 3164"] My take is that winning games is the main thing that should be looked at. In football FSU won all of their games. Alabama won all but one. Close, but Florida St had more wins so they should be in unless there is some EXTREMELY compelling reason to put Alabama ahead of them. There was not unless you buy the Jordan Travis injury explanation, which I don't, at least not enough to overcome the fact that they won two games against decent teams after that injury. In basketball, I've already shown that UVa and Pitt both won games at the same or higher level than the schools taken or seeded ahead of them. So, there must be a compelling reason to dock UVa and Pitt as compared to those other schools. There isn't one, yet the basketball universe seems to think there is as evidenced by the fact that they annually dock the ACC schools at the expense of the Big 12 primarily and the SEC secondarily. Perhaps also the Big 10, I haven't looked all that closely at them. I think that is where the "look at past performance" narrative comes from...whatever the basketball universe is looking at that says the Big 12 is head and shoulders above the ACC seems to be proven wrong on a regular basis in the tourney. As GT33 said, if one is wrong nearly every time they do something (pick and seed NCAA teams in this case), one should probably re-evaluate the process that is being used. ETA: As Stinger stated, equitable treatment, not preferential treatment. [/QUOTE]
