Not only is it ridiculous that Illinois is being touted as a lock with 14 losses and Minnesota as a legitimate bubble team, Ohio State is thought to be the fourth number one seed if they win tomorrow and Duke or West Virginia lose their conference final.

All you have to know about that is that currently, if we would have beaten Ohio State this year, we would still be 0-20 since 2004 against the Top 25 RPI in the regular season.

Titty Dawgs are projected as a 9 seed in lovely Palo Alto, California (maybe we can ride together if we go to San Jose). Oh, and Stanford is the 1 seed. That seems fair.

Surely the committee sees things a little different than the bias being pushed by espn....right?

in the country but so what? The team around him is average at best. The rest of the Big 10 is a joke especially since Hummel is hurt.

I wouldn't be completely shocked if they come out and leave Minnesota and Illinois out in favor of Ole Miss and Rhode Island. But the love fest is downright ridiculous for the Big Ten this year. RPI wise, they are 1-ten thousandth of a percentage point better than the SEC was last year. And the SEC was horrible last year.

Florida will be in before Ole Miss. It will be 4 teams from the SEC and it'll come down to us and the Gators.

..that's the SEC, the SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE. Get over the Big 10. Every decent player in the SEC, no matter what sport, should be touted as the Heisman frontrunner, the Naismith Award winner, and/or the Golden Spikes winner. Every SEC team with a winning record should be pimped as making into the tourney. Every Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10 school, etc. should barely make it into the tourney, no matter how good they are.

We're not talking journalistic integrity.....we're talking about entertainment. You'll spend over a billion, work to get something back from your investment.
