Probably... but as with all things committee, they seem to try to "balance" things instead of just going by raw record / team ability. I'm sure it is a shock and surprise that politics happens in the NCAA selection committee!

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!! I can't STAND Connecticut - and it is entirely irrational, I admit. Their
stupid pun of a mascot name just makes my teeth grind!
OK - maybe their basketball team deserved a higher seed. But I just LOVE it when they lose!

Isn't March great? March Madness and the softball season start. I love it.

Why not a big argument? That's half the fun of March Madness (c) NCAA. Dook-hating is just one of the things that adds spice! (And for an alum of one of the ACC schools that never does well in basketball and that regularly gets beat up by Dook, it comes naturally - although I have a greater animosity toward UNC!)
