The premise of the thread is silly anyhow. You've got UK, then a giant gap, then Arkansas and UF, then everyone else.

Indeed. Reads like UK and the 15 Dwarfs.

I don't disagree.

The way they have it set up is kind of a two game step system. You go to one venue and play 2 games in two days and if you win, you move up to the next venue.

So the 3 big levels are:
Making the dance - 1st venue
Sweet Sixteen - 2nd venue
Final Four - 3rd venue

Obviously the mathematical part of it is 6 levels, with the field shrinking in half each level. But you only celebrate winning the 1st round for 1 day then you have to play again, same with the 3rd and 5th rounds. The 2nd, 4th and 6th round wins get to sink in.

That is kind of the same in football and baseball. Everyone is way behind and it will be a long, long time before anyone catches up, if ever.

Honest question, does Auburn hang banners just for making the NCAAT?

Seems kind of low to only get 12 points for making the championship game but losing



Yeah a 2 point jump from 10 to 12 makes no sense to go from F4 to title game when there's a 5 point jump from 5 to 10 to go from E8 to F4. Basically no value in winning your F4 game there

Should be 10-15-20 or 10-15-25 or something like that. Gaining 5 points to win a E8 game then only 2 points for winning a F4 seems silly

It honestly doesn’t matter. If it bothers you so much make a post with your scoring system. Not that it would matter though. People would still argue over how it isn’t a good scoring system.

That comment was about as defensive as UF was in the SECCG in the second half.
