I'm not going to read 4 pages of yours and Rut's little spat. I could hardly make it through the 1st page. Besides, there is no reasonable reason they should be a 6th seed. Its a conspiracy I tell you! Yeah, that's it, a conspiracy. I'm going to dig into this, I'll let you all know what I find out (right after I get another beverage).

Spat!?! This isn't close to being a "spat." You evidently haven't ever read some of mine and Rut's more "serious" discussions.

I'm ACC, always have been, good or bad. This year it's good. And Hawks Coach and I have been giving all the cryers and whiners all they want. And that's not limited to Rut!

As far as the first page, you evidently didn't read it, so I'll copy and paste for you!

OSU ws hurt by the fact that they're game with Texas did not end until late in the afternoon. The Committee started buikding the brackets around 2:40. They could not possibly have waited until after the Big 10 and Big 12 games were completed before working the brackets. The Big 12 game didn't end until 5:35pm. The show was at 6:00. CBS has to receive the brackets in time to prepare their TV graphics and prepare their analysts. My guess is that CBS gets the brackets at least an hour before the show starts, maybe longer.

I bet we see a change next year, since the Chairman admitted such on live TV.

That's why Wisconsin and OSU didn't get the bids they deserved, straight from the first page!!
