Both Florida and SDSU's #2 seeds were un-earned. SDSU might've had that ranking, but they still didn't deserve that seed just because of their ranking. They could've easily justified not giving them a #2, I think a #3 would be high. They haven't played anyone, that's a great reason.

It's comparable to most of you that whined about Boise St. in a big BCS bowl against a BCS team...the big difference is that Boise actually played against some competition in the regular season, SDSU has only played BYU and went 1-2 against them, and heck, BYU isn't that much of competition...at all.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact. SDSU and especially Florida do not deserve their seeding.

No, it is an opinion. Polls and the selection process itself are based on nothing but opinions. The fact that a so-called mid-major school came within three points of winning the national championship last year shows that the quality of basketball played outside of the "Big Six" basketball conferences is much better than most people think.

I think that too many teams from the big conferences get at large bids. Teams that are not competitive in there own conferences (and 9-7 or 8-8 is not competitive) and fail to reach their conference tournament finals do not belong in the tournament. Michigan State is a great example. But this is just my opinion. :biggrin:
