I hope we can atleast both agree on the fact that the Big Ten sucks, and that Illinois will go undefeated because they play in a shit conference.

In reality theres only one way you can be 20-0 and only be ranked number 5(BC), and thats to play a pathetic schedule. There is a reason Illinois has all 72 first place votes in the AP and all 32 in the USA/ESPN poll. Things might change in the future, but for the moment theres really no reason for you to continue to argue.

If you want to argue, argue away, because in the end all that matters to your tournament comittee is your RPI, and in that category Boston College is five spots ahead of Illinois.

Originally Posted by njc

Well ive just examined the RPI and have concluded that its a joke. But if you want to go ahead and believe that theyve discovered some mathmatical formula to determine which teams are better go ahead. We all know how theyve nailed it with the BCS. Illinois will get a number one seed regardless trust me. Unless they acrue a couple of losses before the season ends, which could happen but as of now, they get a 1 no doubt. So even if RPI did mean shit, ultimately it still wouldnt matter. They have Southern Illinois at number 16. Hilarious.

I'll stop reading after that second sentence.

Dont try to jerk me off, I know you read the whole post.

Honestly, do you wanna know who the best team in the country is? UNC

UConn and Cuse have won 3 Nat'l Championships in the last 5 years.
When March Madness comes around every year, the Big East undoutabley has the most success (and this i know cuz i always pick them in my pools, and i always do well)

Buddy, if the season were to end today, a team that hasn't lost would be a number one seed. It doesn't take brains, it is inevitable, and that is all I said. You are arguing about nothing. The RPI statement was only meant to say that Boston College is five spots ahead of Illinois in the RPI, thus the true poll that matters currently favors Boston College over Illinois.

Your arguing about nothing, and now your starting to bring personal attacks into this. If you want to continue, forget the bullshit, please.

Originally Posted by njc

your statement about the team w the higher RPI seed automatically getting the top seed if two teams were undefeated I just found out is innaccurate. Id never heard that myself but took your word for it. But you were wrong.
