No matter how many books you write you are wrong.

Whether you like it or not WVU is the Big East champ.

Deal with it don't.

We can agree to disagree except the Big East champion bit. But I have proven that the exact method you approve of the Big 12 using to differentiate which teams are champions or co-champion of the 9 league members can be applied to the 3 co-champions this year. Whether arbitrary or not, it is inconsistent. By your deferral to authority argument the Big 12 could declare Baylor the regular season champion this year and you would have to agree that the Bears and their 6-18 conference record are the champions.

So, you never typed the following? After I stated that what you had said is exactly what we had done this year (building on last year)? Remember, it is YOU that continuously blasted people's opinions during basketball season. Remember that? (of course you do)

"Take your *** hat attitude and shove it."
Speaking to you should always be a negative. **** off.

Stop replying then. And remember, when football and basketball season rolls around, I expect you to be "open" to allow others to have "opinions" about what is going on. Can't wait! [thumbsup]

I don't approve of any method. I don't care how they seed the tourney. They have to pick some.e arbitrary way to set a schedule. It is irrelevant to the regular season.

The method they used to seed the tournament is the same method they use to choose the regular season winner. So either declaring WVU, OSU, and Texas are the champions of the conference versus the other 6 teams is arbitrary decided or declaring cochampions when the exact same schedule comparison used to figure out who those cochampions are also reveals who is 1, 2, and 3. Either both are arbitrary or neither are. You cannot say both.

I want to find which team is the best of 9, so I look for the team with best record vs the other 8 teams. I want to find which team is the best of 3, so I look for the team with the best record vs the other 2 teams. Currently you agree that the first sentence is objective and fair while saying the second is just arbitrary. Why?
