The committee has already gone through and placed the top 8 teams. Let's hope we're in there and can stay there.

When you look at Bracket Matrix we are the last 2 seed but clearly ahead of the 3 seeds right now.

We are significantly closer to the 2nd overall 2 seed than we are to the first 3 seed. I would hope that bodes well for us

thats kind of a troll last sentence in that tweet when you read his comments after.


says the top 2 lines have been seeded and then says nothing is set, lots of scrubbing will take place and other teams can move into the top 8.


so why make that sentence?

I don't know why people are interpreting "have been seeded" to mean "are set in stone". The committee is following the process laid out in the principles and procedures document. All he is saying is they got through the first 3 steps.
Quote:
Procedures for Seeding
1. Each committee member will submit a list of the best eight teams, in no particular order, from teams that are in the tournament as automatic qualifiers or atlarge selections

2. The eight teams receiving the most votes comprise the next seed list ballot.

3. Committee members rank the eight teams from No. 1, using a “ranking” scoring system (i.e., the best team is valued at one point).

People just don't care to look anything up anymore. Arguing is more important than learning.

The top ranked bracketologist over the last 5 years (Dave Ommen at Bracketville) has us as a 3, with Auburn as a 2. I think if Auburn or Tennessee wins the SEC tournament, they will jump us if we don't win out. But, as the top 3 seed, we are still able to grab the Detroit site.

I wouldn’t say freaking out but it’s clear why the tweet can mislead people.

He could have probably made it 2 tweets. Start the 2nd tweet with the last sentence.


If somebody were to just see that tweet quoted it could imply the top 8 are seeded and locked in. I don’t think that’s a far stretch if you only read that tweet with no other context.

outside of people extremely on top of things such as yourself, how many people know about that procedure?



i agree people can read and learn, i wasn't sure what exactly that meant so i looked for further comments from him and he made it clear. but a lot of people won't do that (they should, but they won't)
