The 2024 team, which is the one we're talking about, has not won 11 national titles. This is 2024, not 1990. Gary Gait is walking through the door as a coach, not a player. The accomplishments of the many who came before this 2024 team are admirable - even amazing! - but they are also irrelevant to this season. I do not care how many titles your program has or does not have when I am evaluating the teams in this 2024 season.

I opened the door because I misunderstood you saying #9 @ #3, which is incorrect for this particular season, this particular bracket. I thought you were making a specific statement about Army being #9... because how else am I supposed to read that? We're talking about this season, this bracket in this thread.

I read it that you essentially wanted to have your cake and eat it too - that you wanted us to evaluate Syracuse favorably (correctly) based on data at #3, and Army favorably (incorrectly) based on "eye test" at #9. I would apologize and say that I made a mistake here, but I actually don't think that I did based on what was written. Instead, I will say that I am sorry that I read what was written literally and opened a door.

I'm just some guy. A country bumpkin who grew up in the middle of a cotton field in Georgia. I'm basically an idiot about these things! Don't know a darn thing about math or making brackets or how good a team might be.
