NCAA Seeds

[lookleft goright]

As was posted in the Seeds at Nats thread, they changed the seeding weighting this year by lowering coaches poll from 15% to 10% and raising the Conf Tourney Placement from 10% to 15%. That may explain some of the surprising seeding and why guys like Arnold and Teemer and Caliendo ended up lower than expected, and why Keuter ended up higher than expected.

Putting more weight on Conf Tourney Placement helps the weaker conferences and hurts the Big10, but they have a history of screwing Big10 in seeding, so it is no surprise that they would adjust the seeding criteria to hurt Big10 even more. The heavier weighting on Conf Tourney Placement might also explain how Lilledahl and Hardy got #1 seeds while 1 loss opponents dropped to #2.

The big 10 may get "screwed" in seeding, but they have a heck of a lot of other advantages. It is nice to give the smaller and weaker programs and conferences a little bit of a boost.

Clueless once again..It's unreal how dense you are. Comical

Barr has wins over 1 and 5 seed, and losses to 1 and 2 seeds with injury default as well..and you think 4 is a "headscratcher"

Kasak 18-1 wins over 3,5,11,13,18,20 and 21
Shapiro 11-1 wins over 14,26,29 and 30

What's the argument for Shapiro besides "gut feeling"

Shapiro is the biggest head scratcher for me.

Also, did you miss the part where I said I have no issue with their seeds? Why am I asking? Of course you did.... I was simply making a point that they didn't get knocked ANYWHERE.

As far as Barr goes, are you really telling me I am being dopey because he is the ONLY one I see where they completely ignore his injury and 6th place conference results while they essentially have penalized EVERYONE else since they made it a point of emphasis???

I realize that your reading comprehension is far above a fourth grade reading level, I find it interesting that you choose to use all capital letters to help make your point. I am sure you know that studies have shown that all caps leads to reduced readability. Perhaps this is the reason why so many have trouble reading and comprehending your detailed posts, just a thought.😉

It actually then shows the “stupidification” of society if capitalizing 3 words out of 100 reduces anyone’s ability to read and understand.

Also, I was taught to use it for point of emphasis back when we actually wrote with a pencil. In fact, at the time, it was taught that people skim when they read and the all caps words help make the reader at least catch those words.

So, in closing, I will continue to post my way and not cater to the lazy and ignorant readers of today.

Oh, and for YOU, I didn’t use any caps above!

Glad I could stir you up. The mods let me in so I could distract you this weekend. The more you react to me, the less they have to hear from you.

Yep, you got me. That 30 secs it took for me to respond to your stupidity caused so much damage to my posting elsewhere…

Admit it, you have been thinking about it all day...you responded awfully quick. Fish looked really good today, that is almost a win for you right? I'm sorry, just a long time lurker and admirer of your genius.

Nope I am simply relentless. Put a task in front of me and I finish it as quickly as I can. Even if it is responding to your stupidity and then bouncing back to respond to everyone else just as vociferously.
