[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 791062"] Some people disconnected from Tech have said we didn't beat much of anybody in our 8 game win streak. But Syracuse had found their form and won most of their final 10 games. When we beat Notre Dame earlier on, it was during their one stretch that they were playing really good ball. We didn't play well against Miami, but that was also during their best stretch of basketball by far all year. And its not like Florida State played bad against us, we just found a way to beat an elite team (again). Virginia Tech on the road. Etc etc Models are models, and opinions are opinions. My beef this year is we knew models might have a tough time due to scheduling issues and canceled games. And that's fine. I just think that thinking humans who rank teams and pick seeds for a tournament should be more deliberate. You should double check your work. Does it really make sense to invite teams with losing records rated #70? Does it really make sense to take two teams with similar conference records and overall records in two different major P5 conferences and give one a 2 seed and the other an 8 seed? The human side of everything was what failed this year. Some conferences were better than others, but the level of bias in models and humans believing that like the Elite 8 would be all Big Ten or something was just ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
