Okay? You're using kenpom? Why didn't you look at UVA? In the last 10 games, UVA has played 9 top 100 teams and gone 9-1 in those games (only loss to #3 Duke). If you are going to include San Diego, I'm including GA Tech at 110.

Syracuse 35
Pitt 95
Georgia Tech 110 (if you are including San Diego)
Louisville 23
Va tech 11
Notre Dame 82
North Carolina 5
Duke 3 (L)
Miami 72
NC State 33

Well, yeah, of course UVA has played tougher competition.

Okay... what are you arguing with me about exactly then? This all came about because I said I have UVA ranked ahead of Gonzaga...

"Gonzaga is absolutely DESTROYING everybody though, but it's hard to know how good they really are."

I was pointing out that Gonzaga has a tough schedule as well. We have every reason to believe they are a tough team, they haven't been playing cupcakes.

It would've saved us both some time if you just led with that instead.

ODU recieved 2 votes in the final AP poll....ahead of the 12 seed Liberty.

ODU got shafted on seeding, whats new.

That AP poll means nothing. We lost 2 games right before the tourney, the people voting probably didn't even pay attention.

We cannot complain about our seeding at all.

Totally agree. We defeated two 8 seeds and wind up at 14.

Wouldn't read much into it. Feinstein gave ODU a 24 vote, accounting for both its points. Liberty's beat writer gave them a 25 vote, their one point. VCU got four points and they're an 8 seed. AP polling and NCAA seeding are different animals.

EDIT: Feinstein's ballot has Nevada 23rd. Make of that what you will.

Glad we got votes. Don’t care where they come from.
And PS SCREW VCU and Nevada.
Thanks ,

Have a great day!

Publicity my friend with fans and kids who keep up with the polls. Every little bit helps

VCU is shockingly over seeded. I would have thought they’d be 11 and ODU a 12. NCAA knows nothing of mid major hoops.

VCU is 34 in the NET rankings--that equates to about an 8 seed.

The issue is if those rankings are worth anything.

Kenpom and Net both have th there.

Whatever, VCU may be an 8, but I like our chances of getting out of week 1 better than theirs.
