Not Just SMU, All Teams in The AAC Got Robbed

Postby StandUp » Mon Mar 17, 2014 7:37 pm

#4 Louisville
#5 Cinci
#7 UCONN
#8 Memphis

How can Lousiville be a #4?
Louisville co-won the AAC regular season and won the AAC Tournament, be ranked in Top 10?
Louisville will make it to the Elite 8 easily.

How can Cinci be a #5?
Cinci co-won our conference regular season and was in the Top 15 most of the year
If Cinci gets past Harvard. Michigan State is in for a game.

How can UCONN be a #7 Seed?
UCONN was in the Top 20 most of the year and played in the AAC Tournament Final

How can Memphis even make the tournament?
Memphis split with SMU and was ranked below SMU in the AAC

The same ranking system that is used for the AP Poll (during the season) needs to be applied to Team Seeding when the NCAA Committee determines which schools make the NCAA Tournament (otherwise there is no need to have a Weekly AP Top 25).

I hope Cincy whips Harvard then takes MSU to the woodshed. ESPN couldnt get off of Sparty's jock today. With Justin Jackson and Sean Kilpatrick they've got a great team

Just filled out a bracket, i put Cincy and Louisville in the finals. Don't like either team but it would be awesome for the American and shove it in the face of the shumks on the committee

That will be classic if Louisville and Cinci get to the Final Four or win it all! That will show the committee just how strong the AAC was this year. UCONN could do some damage too if Napier gets hot! I really think Cinci and Louisville can play with almost anyone in the tournament. Should be fun to watch! Cinci as a #5 seed and Louisville as a #4 seed is beyond a joke! Put Cinci or Louisville in the ACC this year and either team could have won the ACC. Both are better teams than Virginia!

Definitely pulling for Cincy, Memphis, and UConn.

It's a joke that Louisville is a 4 seed, but definitely not pulling for them with them leaving the conference next year. Would just give more reasons for the committee to screw the AAC next year.

I'm not worried about money, and obviously I want them to get far enough. But I certainly don't want them bringing home a national title as they depart from us....especially as they go to the conference we just got screwed by.

Big article in the Little Rock paper about the disrespect the committee showed the SEC. Think Arkansas and Missouri should be in as well.

I do believe there is something to the 'respect' factor in the selection committee's decisions. And we are not the only conference feeling the disrespect.

I know that due to our closeness to SMU that the snub of getting into to tournament is in our minds the worst that could happen. But if I were listing the order of AAC disrespect I would say 3 conference teams out of 4 selected all in one region is first, the Louisville seed second, and our snub third. While all are very bad in my eyes, the total disregard of our conference is what stands out to me more than anything else.
