VT Robbed

You didn't read through my statement enough. Only Ivy League teams and those who have moved up from D2 do not make postseason play. So thats roughly 320+ teams that play in the postseason for basketball. 94% in basketball is a lot higher than 54% of the teams making postseason play in football.

Truly, there are much more basketball teams that make the postseason than in football, and a higher percentage. Every team but those in the Ivy league, or those who have moved up from D2 recently make the postseason. </div></div>


you can't count the conference tournaments as being part of the NCAA tournament because in the end you still have to choose the 34 best teams to get the at-large bids...and those in the at-large did not win their conference tournament but can still get in

one of you guys said that no one who doesn't win their conference tournament has an argument for not being in the tournament....so how about we just leave out Georgetown and Duke...would they have an argument?

VT needed to beat Clemson at the end of the year to solidify a spot, it didn't happen so we were at the hands of committee, which we knew did not have a single ACC representative (how the best conference doesn't get a say in who goes to the tournament is beyond me) but if you guys really truly don't think VT would beat at least half the teams who did get bids then, as Coach Greenberg said "you're certifiably insane"

The way I see it, conference tournaments are "post season" play...that is every teams guaranteed chance to get in on a chance to win the national championship...In football, how many teams have a chance to play for a national championship at the end of the regular season???...2 maybe 3...so that argument has no merit. So, damn right conference tournaments are post season play.

I didn't say the NCAA tourney man. I said postseason play. Lets look at it another way then. In football 2 teams get to play for the national championship. In basketball 65 teams get to. 2/119 = .02% get a chance at the national title. 65/320= 20% get the chance at the national title. Either way, basketball has better numbers than football for the chance at the national championship, but I do consider conference tourneys postseason play because if you win, you get to keep playing, and no one can turn you down.

That was the same thing I was saying...I wasn't aiming that at you stripes...I think we are making the same argument.

I knew what you was saying beast, I was really replying back to vthokie.

[titans_1_2005]

tech is where they should be.. the nit.... yeah grennberg said they should expand the tournment.. are u kidding me.. thats so stupid

[R13]

I think VT and AZ St shouldve been in there but ohh well

[gcdevil22]

where they should be? with that kind of remark you would think Carolina would have a better record than 2-2 against VT in the last 2 years, with that last second shot being one of them

please jared, don't get all high and mighty like VT is a bottom feeder in the conference
