Did anyone see this?  Yes it's ridiculous but, I saw this gem hidden within.

"How we got here:
First round: (1) Oklahoma over (16) California, (2) LSU over (15) Houston, (3) Wisconsin over (14) Arizona, (13) South Florida over (4) Louisville, (5) Michigan over (12) Vanderbilt, (11) Colorado over (6) N.C. State, (7) Oklahoma State over (10) Ole Miss, (8) South Carolina over (9) North Carolina

Second round: (1) Oklahoma over (8) South Carolina, (7) Oklahoma State over (2) LSU, (11) Colorado over (3) Wisconsin, (5) Michigan over (13) South Florida"

 

The writer actually has USF as a number 13 seed beating U0fL a number 4 seed. We then lose to Michigan a 5 seed in the next round but, they give us enough credit to beat UofL. I found it a little nice to be actually promoted by our media partner for a change.

At the same time, they have us ranked #51 in their power index, behind Syracuse.

If they are using 2016 or 2017 projections its bad seeding for us.  Top 20 team should be no lower than a 5 seed.  The power index rating makes sense since they use the last 4 seasons.

13x4 = 52, so the 13 seeds are essentially ranked 49,50,51, and 52

That is decidedly NOT showing us respect for 2017-18

Expecting us to beat 13-14-15-16 Louisville is more about dissing UL than respecting us, IMO

What are we ranked in "Being Cool" this year? That's what matters most. :D

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
