Message: [QUOTE="Zack80, post: 5070289, member: 1245"] If T.Foy is saying it. I'll chime in, although I'll be called a Terps' homer. I really felt the Terps should be the 6th seed, once Princeton won the Ivy League and moved up to #8 in the RPI. This gave the Terps 3 top ten wins, 1 that was top 5. The trouble with using top 20 wins so much, is the teams near the bottom of the top 20 are not that strong - and are thus not a good measure of beating top teams - which the NCAA champion has to do. "Virginia’s RPI was plus-2 vs. Maryland, their SOS was plus-3," Virginia's "good" losses served them very well. Why should losing 5 games to top 5 teams help a team so much. Anyways, I'd just as soon be playing Princeton. [/QUOTE]
