[SIZE=6][B][SIZE=3]As shown below, 'Cuse is ranked #1 by the ESPN Nitty Gritty Report thru 12/16/2012. This is a reflection, according to Lunardi and ESPN Insider, a reflection, strong correlation, of how the March Tournament is seeded. As importantly, RPI for teams, strength of schedule are shown...BUT LOOK AT ROAD WINS AND NEUTRAL COURT WINS SO FAR THIS SEASON...low and behold...'CUSE IS LOOKING AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER TEAM SHOWN...OSU IS 0-1 ON ROAD GAMES AND 0-0 FOR NEUTRAL COURT...GUESS THEY TRAVEL MORE THAN 'CUSE...WHAT A JOKE...NONE OF TOP TEAMS HAVE PLAYED MORE THAN 2 GAMES ON ROAD AND THAT IS NC...[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=6][B][B][SIZE=3]So [/SIZE][/B][SIZE=3]'Cuse really is competitive, plays as many pre-conference games on road and on neutral court as any other top team todate---blow-up the media's poor attention to detail![/SIZE][/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=6][B]Nitty Gritty Report: 2011-2012[/B][/SIZE]

The NCAA Selection Committee frequently compares teams or groups of teams using what is called a "Nitty Gritty" report. Our Bracketologists have replicated that data and use it each week to project the NCAA tournament field (not looking for discussion on whether this RPI or SOS is best out there...but rather showing how Lunardi picks his brackets and rates teams...NO ONE SHOULD CHALLENGE 'CUSE'S SCHEDULING...
Top four teams and NC shown:
Team RPI SOS Road Neutral
1. Syracuse 2 11 0-0 2-0
2. Duke 1 7 0-0 5-0
3. OSU 28 146 0-1 0-0
4. KY 6 57 0-1 3-0

7. NC 17 69 1-1 2-1

what do you think?
