Where's your examples? I just broke this down in my previous post. Teams are seeded in some fashion and placed geographically as a priority. I specifically proved Arizona, UCLA, and ND were seeded and why they went to their prospective regionals. The committee seeded these teams, but not the...

You are correct on geography as a priority, but incorrect in seeding beyond 16. We all know the top 16 seeds are seeded nationally. The committee does try to keep teams within a region as a priority. We've played UF and other Florida schools in regionals when they have qualified. We would...

There's several criteria. UNC has #3 RPi , #2 SOS, and 9-! In their last 10 games. Miami has head to head sweep and more aggregate ACC wins at 20-12 vs 19-15. It come down to what the committee values more. I think recent performance and RPI are going to win out because the committee would...

I really think 1 or 2 top 8 seeds will lose to a #2 seed. If we win our regional, we could still wind up hosting a super.

You don't know what you're talking about and your trying to change what I said. It isn't that we needed to win it. I NEVER said that. It would have improved our standing. that's the point. Go up or go down. We could have got a #2 seed in winning plus adding to the trophy case. You come...

There were several who said winning the ACC didn't matter and unimportant. It does as we're about to find out. I made several arguments including what winning and losing could do. So many living in the past. We haven't won a national championship in 20+ years in football or baseball...

It's the body of work and I believe the more recent body of work is a better indicator of where the teams are. If we get a #9 seed, it could work out if we play well and the #8 isn't UNC. I have a feeling a #2 seeded ACC team is going to win a regional against a top 8 seed. We could wind up...

Look at the RPI and SOS. It isn't even close. Also, look at the last ten games. We are 4-6 and UNC is 9-1.

I don't see Maryland as a top 8 seed. They have the #9 RPI, but their SOS is #109. ND didn't make the top 8 last year with an RPI of #11 and SOS of #54.

I hear crickets from the critics that said it didn't matter.

Where's all the folks that said the ACC tournament didn't matter. Before the tournament started, I said Miami could be a #2 seed with an ACC title or out of the top 8 with 2 losses. Now UNC is in the picture for a top 8 seed when they weren't even hosting before the tournament started and we...

Below is my top 8 projection followed by D1's current top 8 projection, then followed by their final 2021 projection and 2021 NCAA top 8 field. I don't think the D-1 projection is entirely accurate. Looking at the D-1 2021 projection, Notre Dame was not a top 8 team by the NCAA. In fact, they...

That was just a horrible play starting with the bunt. I knew he wasn't going to bunt it well simply looking at the way the Maryland player was holding the bat. When I saw him holding it parallel to the ground it wasn't going to be a good attempt. I can't believe at the D1 P5 level players...

Hope Pitt wins tonight, then we boost regardless.

I just don't see getting that #8 seed when you look at the last 10 games that I posted. We are 4-6 in our last 10 games. Not good heading into regionals.

I was updating at the same time you were replying.

It's just going to come down to what the committee values most. They may look at the last N number of games as one of the factors rewarding who's playing well right now. Last 10 games: UM - 4-6 ND - 7-3 I can't see getting that #8 seed.

That's what I said. They had loss updated before the RPI. I had updated.

It's going to be close. We either get the #8 or #9 seed.

ND updated RPI with the loss is #11. We'll see what the committee does.
