Message: [QUOTE="sdhusky, post: 291222, member: 2224"] It is amazing how much a programs value in these conference shuffles is based on its recent record vs tradition. WVU got the invite to the Big 12 because of its recent run. If expansion happened in 2002, SU would be way more attractive than WVU. If TCU didn't just win a Rose Bowl, they wouldn't be in the Big 12. Utah won and got in the Pac10. Bose, SDSU & Houston are going to the BE based on the past couple of years of winning. There no way that Miami and FSU can be left out a NC tourney or game because they stay in the ACC. They will win again. Even if Miami and FSU leave the ACC, I don't think the ACC can be left out of a NC tournament. Can you imagine an undefeated UVA or UNC or VaTech, SU, MD or Pitt not getting play? The success of programs like Utah, TCU, Bose & WVU prove that in this era of parity and fewer scholarships, that well-run well-coached programs can beat all but the best SEC schools. [/QUOTE]
