Top 25 of what?

Lets say it is a metric that even you don't dispute.

Top 25 of what?

I understand you using the metrics but you're using them as the complete picture which is where i disagree. You think Wisconsin should have a better seed than Oklahoma State for example? Your argument says yes

For wrestling:

1) Win the NCAA National Team Title

2) Win the Conference Team Tournament Title

3) Win an individual NCAA Title

4) Win an individual Conference Tournament Title\

5) Win the Dual Season Title

Since you have done every other sport, What about Cross Country? Or Hockey?

A team got a 4 seed that wasn't in the top 25 of the NET rankings?

You go ahead and do cross country since ISU is basically "Cross country U"

Oklahoma state

Top 12 would be a 3 seed. It is a hypothetical, should a team that isn't a top 25 team get a top 12 seed (3 seed or better)?

I guess I would need more info

Twins, Oklahoma state or Wisconsin who should have the better seed?

That's one way to wave the white flag.

It’s 110% Oklahoma State lol.

Seems Jamie really influences the committee and got some Big12 teams really overseeded from their NET rankings.

Texas, Net says 6 seed, they got a 3 seed
West Virginia Net says 6 seed they got a 3 seed
Oklahoma St. Net says 8 seed, they got a 4 seed

What did Texas Tech do to tick off Pollard? Tech should have been a 4 Seed according to NET above WVU, Texas and Oklahoma St.,but Jamie dropped them to a 6 seed.

You have a good point there. I still don't see any way to think Oregon is better than Colorado though

Jamie is very powerful that's for sure

 

[Legend Hawk]

Jamie is very powerful that's for sure

So you agree that those 3 teams are massively over seeded? Oregon at least won it's conference, shouldn't that carry some weight?

Wow he acknowledges a good point. My work here is done

Weirdly enough I think Oregon is better. Oregon has lost only once this year to a team that didn’t make the NCAA Tournament, while Colorado lost 4.

Oregon laid an absolute egg in that semifinal game, but Oregon State is obviously playing insane right now as they picked off Colorado right after that.

I think you could certainly argue Oregon is better and as Jon Rothstein stated on a recent podcast, they’re probably the most under-seeded team in this year’s tournament.

No I'm just agreeing with you that Pollard is a very respected and powerful

Well said and i agree. I think Oregon is the best 7 seed in the tournament and i thought they would be heading into the tournament. Was hoping for Clemson who is an underdog to an average Rutgers team. Clemson is only a 7 because they had a great November/December. Ideally those are the teams i want to play

I think UConn is the best 7 and Clemson is the worst 7. I think Rutgers beats Clemson.
