Of course! You clearly spend a lot of time and energy on this, and have certainly done your research, and that absolutely deserves to be awarded/recognized.

I did a double take when I saw 'Cuse at the 6 seed, but when you dig into the resumes of other teams, who deserves it more? I think Cuse All In summed it up nicely, but to go a step further, Army just lost to Navy, Lehigh was definitely due for a seed but just lost to Villanova (handily) - a bubble out team, Georgetown just lost to Loyola - another bubble team, Denver lost to Duke and got boat raced by UNC, just like SU and doesn't have a win that comes close to UVAx2.  If Rutgers win the Big 10 tourny against Maryland, they will certainly deserve a look, but again, [I]they haven't beaten a team with a winning record[/I]. The fact of the matter is nothing on anyone else's resumes comes close to two top five victories, which Syracuse owns. Maybe they get dinged a spot for the way they've lost some of these games, but they shouldn't tumble down the bracket because of it.
