Re: Picking Teams in Elimination Rounds

The state of preparation of the low seeds, being rather bad as it seemed at VCU, is a completely sepearate issue fromt he new ranking system.
As much as I don't like the new system, I will admit it acheived what it was set out to, at least at VCU. It was meant to bring more competitive matchplay and a greater chance for the lower seeds to advance and win. The #2 and #3 alliances fell in the QFs, and the the #6 beat the #4 seed in the finals, it did what it was meant to do.
