[TennZip]

last week, akron had 18 first place votes, 4 for Maryland and 1 for N. Carolina

notice that Connecticut dropped from #6 to #7....

and the coaches have Michigan State at 28 and Indiana at 31....

In NCAA draw, Indiana is 16...and Michigan State is #32 and has to play Notre Dame (if Mich. State gets by the vikings of Cleveland State)

Coastal Carolina was also not treated well by NCAA

coaches have Niagara at #27 and Michigan at #35....will be interested to see how one loss Niagara does against the wolverines

This is a TRAVESHAMOCKERY!

So, #1 in the final regular season coaches poll + #2 in the final regular season RPI = #5 seed is the kind of math the NCAA wants its member institutions to be teaching their student-athletes?

Seriously now, has there ever in the history of the NCAA been any team in any sport with final regular season rankings of #1 in the coaches poll and #2 in RPI that ended up with a #5 seed? I think if this had ever happened in a more mainstream American sport like football, basketball or baseball that every sports media outlet would be filled with stories of outrage, and it would be a topic of conversation among sports fans across the country.

Just inexplicable. What can you say? We've all seen this movie before.

If we end up losing a road quarterfiinal game, someone is going to have to explain this unbelievable snub.

Yeah! At least when we had to play at Northwestern for no good reason, they let us call it a home game.

Thanks to that game the NCAA changed the rule regarding unplayable field. Up to that time the rule allowed the lesser

seeded school to host the game if they so choose to do so. No lesser seed school had ever took the advantage,

always allowing the better seeded school to find a neutral field of their choice. Northwestern, bless their feeble minds,

elected to enforce the rule and claim the home field. The NCAA then changed the rule.
