This Super Regional is ridiculous

So if we were hypothetically seeded 14 when we should have been seeded 4. Then all teams from 4 on down were seeded at least one spot too high. When they match up with the 14 seed during the tournement they are really playing a 4 seed. They are meeting a powerhouse way earilier in the tourney than they should have. They might have been unfairly given home field advantage but they are playing a way stronger team than they should have if the seedings were correct. Both teams have logit grips. But only after they win the game. If you get beat then you got beat by a team that should have been seeded higher than you. Sorry I may be rambaling but my point is, hindsight will tell the tale on where we should have been seeded.

So...are you saying the better team always wins? That there can't be an upset over a team that should have bee ranked higher? Whether the Cajuns win this series or not, they were ranked too low. Regardless of what Washington did, they were ranked too high.

I'm saying the only way to win the argument is to win the games. When the 14 seed has proven to be hands down the best team in the country by dominating their way to the National championship. Then there will be no formulas no RPI and no one will disagree the seeding was way wrong. Of course there will always be upsets no matter how they seed them but if everyone recognzes its an up set then thats not a seeding problem. When a lower seed dominates the tourney then the seeding problem is exposed without words but with wins.

The better team doesn't always win. Occasinally, lesser teams can eek out narrow 9-2 and 6-0 victories. With those razor thin margins, it's clear these teams are very evenly matched. That's what everybody keeps saying, right?

While watching last night I kept thinking about your posts yesterday.......I was thinking: Man I got to get that guy to give me six random numbers!

Sorry Ned, my hot streak ends at 1 (and maybe zero)...

Sounds like a plan to me!

PS I promise not to get a big head about this.

After all, I did call Adam Amin "Ian Levine." At least it rhymed, though.

anyone understands why "alley-oop" so mad that caused the article to be written in the 1st place? (smiles)

I'll go ahead and give it a guess.. because if the Cajuns have to play two the second day, it will be a late night for those that work @the newspaper..

ps. (ha ha ha-ing) gotta giggle at an alley-oop, whois a friend of mine

Quote from the Okla-AZ broadcast:

"I expect ASU to give (UL) a good game."

NOW you've finally got that in the right order. It's about time.

Ok we were seeded 14 and we finished in the top 16. Quit crying about the seedings. Looks like they were not that far off. You can't expect for other good teams to knock one and other out so the cajuns could walk in. I enjoyed another great softball season. I'm proud to be a cajun
