I thought we established two years ago that Marquee wins weren't enough to make up for mediocre results in other games? Marquette shares FSU's worst loss, but also took a knock at Depaul, and may end up with just ONE win over a tournament team, and LOST to FSU.

FSU is also 27th(a 7 seed, potentially) in the sagarin ratings, with all but two losses to top 20 teams there. They have won 5 of 6, and are one of just 2 ACC teams with 5 road conference wins...

We are already accounting for 2 bid stealers in our current bracket (Washington and Memphis). Otherwise our bracket would look like other bracketologists and we would have teams like UConn, VT, and Dayton in. We add the bid stealers to make it more accurate in terms of how many at large bids will likely be available.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-91496560900073025672010-03-06T14:19:13.875-05:002010-03-06T14:19:13.875-05:00Would it help Notre Dame's resume if Loyola Ma...Would it help Notre Dame's resume if Loyola Marymount keeps winning in the WCC tournament?
