Here's some examples, just from the last tournament:
Just gave it to you. In the LAST tourney, two teams INSIDE the top 20 didn't even get a 5 seed. OR a 6 seed. They got a 7 seed. And two UNRANKED teams got better seeds, one a 5 and one a 6.
So not 1 top 25 team was seeded worse than 7. I digress
Really?? So a 14th ranked team getting a 7 seed makes sense to you?? I guess you are that dumb.
So, what youre saying(just to be clear) Is that being in the top 25 almost gurantees you a top 6-7 seed? As i've been stating this whole time
It's going to be a long 4 days.
No, I'm saying that is YOUR logic. And it's wrong. I'd much rather be Miss St or Iowa St in that scenario (ie, UNRANKED and higher seeded) than Buffalo or Nevada. But according to you, it's necessarily better to be ranked come seeding time.
I started this thread to point out the ridiculousness of people obsessing about rankings and seedings. Somehow it went off the rails. I don't give a crap where we are ranked or seeded. I know what I'm seeing on the court. We have a chance. That's all I care about.
I don't have a "logic" lmaoo. Being ranked it almost always better than being unranked. Youre stuck on one facet of it(seeding) when everyone in this thread as stated multiple reaasons outside of seeding why its better. Youre not worth responding to at this point. You literally proved my point regarding seeding, and you did it while thinking you were making a point. Being in the top 25 almost gurantees you a seed 1-7. THE END. Convince yourself otherwise
Obviously the best teams are ranked. Any idiot knows that. It's at the bottom of the rankings, where we are currently hovering, that it's meaningless. Which I proved. You think whatever you want. Maybe you can start a petition to lobby the guys at the Des Moines Gazette and the Nebraska Ledger to pay more attention so we can get their votes. I'm sure that will dramatically impact our seeding come selection Sunday......and even more importantly, impact our performance in the tournament. Me, I'll focus on watching basketball and let our play do the talking.
It's usually the same culprits but now for some reason we have people from the women's board coming over and doing it as well.
Again idgaf about seeding when it comes to being ranked, that’s such a small facet. Wth is wrong with you. Let’s talk perception, exposure, recruiting. UConn’s rise is all due to those things. And being ranked bolsters those things even more. If all the best teams are ranked, why wouldn’t you care about being ranked? Lmao
We weren't respected coming out of the AAC, but Hurley and his staff did a pretty good job of recruiting. And before you say that it's because of The Big East, I believe Bouk was pre BE. Just win and everything will take care of itself.
We still had some respect. We were still UConn, we didn’t all of a sudden become St. Joes
Thank goodness
I've seen articles saying that the rankings align with the seedings more than anything else. I don't know if the selection committee does this on purpose or whether things just seem to fall that way more often than not.
