[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 791091, member: 4110"] I think too many people in positions to make decisions are lost in an hierarchical thinking paradigm. They are biased to think in term of a conference being superior to another and are susceptible to confirmation bias and being impervious to data that might support a different way to interpret the observations. This is the only way I can think that wold result in a team like The Ohio St. getting a better seed in the NCAAT than they did in the conference tournament. I think this hierarchical paradigm is highly susceptible to bias created by pre-season rankings, and that the value of wins is founded on these pre-season rankings which are not based on game outcomes, and therefore, B.S. They baked the inaacuracy and bias into the system right from the start. And in teh case of this season ,it really snowballed into a real train-wreck of a seeding. The other paradigm is to embrace parity and that rankings and superiority is determined by results on the court and that the weighting or wins and losses is not contaminated by pre-season biases. I think that they seedings would have been better by drawing them out of a hat this year. [/QUOTE]
