How often do good teams lose to bad teams?

[ShockTalk]

Wow! Go back to Phog.net. They buy into what you're spouting. Also how would WSU winning out make them their own worst enemy? They are playing teams that are not too chicken to play us.
Gonzaga was a #1 seed that was beat by the team that made it to the final 4. I suppose along with your analysis Ohio State as a 2 seed was overrated along with Kansas St at #4, Wisconsin at #5 and New Mexico at #3. That must be true because that is the only way the WSU could have made to the Final 4. Do you also contend that Georgetown as a #2 seed and Oklahoma St. as a #5 was overrated or is it just those in Wichita States bracket?

Good Grief.

So, there's a fear that the Committee will lower WSU's seed because WSU beat a #1 seed last year?

No, that the Committee will compare the resume of Gonzaga last year, who many perceived did not belong as a #1 seed, vs the resume of WSU this year and lower WSU's seed because of Gonzaga's early dismissal in the tournament. Basically will WSU's perceived lesser resume in the eyes of those same people cause WSU to have a lower seed?

It just happens that WSU was the team that beat that #1 seed.

Good Grief.

Sorry about the rant I had just made the mistake of reading some posts on Phog and the BluejayCafe and Jdmee's post struck as more of the same thing.

Take a deep breath and relax.

My point is that by beating Gonzaga last year it gives the selection committee the ammunition to use to drop WSU seed lines. That is how WSU is their own worst enemy. How many of the pundents stated the Gonzaga thing? That the Zags shouldn't have been a #1 based upon the lack of quality wins? If the Zags would have made a deep run then the point would have been moot, however by them dropping out early it "proved" the point. Now that WSU will have less quality wins how will the WSU resume look to those same people?

This statement isn't w/o any logic but does not pass the logic test IMO.

That kinda thing can happen when you do silly mistakes like that. :)
