[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 50345, member: 322"] [media=youtube]REtw8P8pywA[/media] Also for crl, I thought you had a good question about NCAA seedings. When I answered, I assumed that the NCAA selection committee would use RPI fairly strictly. That may not be the case: at [url]http://www.boydsworld.com/baseball/faq.html[/url] "[B]How closely does the selection committee follow the RPI's?[/B] It varies from year to year -- generally they seem to use it for justification more than guidance.

So anything can happen :cool: [/QUOTE]
