Not that it should influence the numeric order of the seeding, but exactly! Don't think we've heard from any Arizona fans here, but I have to believe they think they're sitting pretty because either way the are staying out west, and playing the regional in LA. They're probably greatly amused at all the ruckus over seeding and parings. I don't care who they've lost to, and that the Pac 12 is down this year, I think they are a legit title contender who can beat anybody.Originally posted by UKWildcats#8:
So Arizona gets a one for losing to 3 dog crap teams, and beating an overrated fraud in Gonzaga that plays HS teams to pad its stats/wins and a Utah team that is sinking by the week on the seed line? LOL. The Pac 12 sucks as well btw. The Arizona love on here is hilarious.Originally posted by BBCatsExile:
Virginia lost to two teams who were better than they were.
Arizona last three teams because they laid an egg. One was on the night of December 24th. One was against a conference rival. One was against Oregon State who they probably slept on.Arizona won every big game they played, versus Gonzaga, at Utah.
They get the nod for me. Virginia is a sweet 16 team, but I see them first to get bounced out of the top 6.
Why would you give Arizona a 1 seed when they are going to be out west anyways as a 2?

Va beat NO ONE in their OOC schedule. They are a good team and had a real good shot of winning both games they lost. I don't think the committee or the country will accept two #1 seeds from the acc unless va beats duke in the final. In every conference it is hard to go undefeated. Especially for the traditional powers. In the tournaments, teams will be playing for the 2nd or 3rd time this year and know how to play each other.Originally posted by TUL:
Eh, I disagree. The top of the ACC is a brutal group. And if you look at UVas record, and Duke's record, they are really pretty good.
I would hesitate to eliminate a team simply because of league affiliation. Two of the top four teams in the country CAN come from the same league.
I did not see you posting on this board that 2 sec football teams deserve a playoff birth. This was a real possibility if MSU won out. Ohio state would not even have gotten a shot if that happened. Big 10 would have been in a major uproar even though osu lost to Vatech. Osu was really good the last 5 games of the year. Dominated the line of scrimmage in those games.
The whole year the media has pumped up the big 12 as the best conference with the acc as being good top heavy. The acc has only 2 real legit teams duke and Va. unc cheat and ul have massive flaws. I don't think ND is a real contender either. I think the acct final is on Sat the same day the committee will pick. A VA loss will put them on the 2 line. Duke has to make the final or they could be in trouble as well. If someone outside of duke or va win, IDK what happens then. GBB
On the road as well...that is a high quality OOC win.Originally posted by BlueBlood66:

You are right. They beat Maryland in the 8th game of the year by 9. Mary was ranked #21 at the time and were still trying to get their flash mob routine worked out. Even though mary is in the big 10, there is still an acc feel to this game. Somehow, I still can not say by beating mary, Va played a tough ooc schedule. I think Dez wells did not play in that game (injured?). The point is that dook played a much better ooc schedule which separates them from the other possible #1 seeds outside of UK. For the record, I picked Va to win the acc and the acc T this year. If they lose, the are a 2 seed. GBBOn the road as well...that is a high quality OOC win.They beat Maryland
