[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 786643, member: 2299"] The thing with the NCAAT format is that there is a big difference in time gaps between games. Winning 1 game gets you talked about, along with 31 others, for an extra day while the focus is on the games being played that day. Winning 2 games gets you talked about for the next ~4 days with nothing going on. Winning 3 games gets you talked about for an extra day on top of that, again, with games going on. Winning 4 games gets you talked about along with just 3 other teams for ~4 days. IMO that's why sweet 16 and final 4 are more the breakpoints while elite 8 isn't. To me, winning the ACC is a bigger selling point than making the sweet 16. To me, a sweet 16 is great as part of an overall sell. Like if you can say we have go to the sweet 16 or better the majority of my years coaching, then it's a bigger deal. But a lone sweet 16 appearance vs a lone ACC T championship favors the ACC championship. IMO walking in and saying, "do you want to be a champion" and being able to back it up with a championship, even if it's a conference instead of a national one, goes a longer way and is a more effective pitch. However, I think making the final four tops it because it's almost guaranteed some ACC team make the sweet 16, but often none make the final four. Also, final four invokes the feeling of competing for championships that is lacking to sweet 16 to me. Just my take. [/QUOTE]
