Interesting stat about the NCAA for some of you stat guys

[Shady TigEER]

I now we're projected a 5 seed right now and every year one of them goes down. So I looked up the history of how the seeds do vs. their opponent. Check out the link for the info on all the seeds. (BTW - a 5 seed loses about 1/3 of the time).

the 5 seed should be coveted. overall, it is one of the easiest paths to the ff, imo

easier than the 6?

Avoids the 1 seed longer

Re: easier than the 6?

you're right, the 6 seed is better. silver lining with injuries is we will probably drop a seed... to 6.

lunardi has us as a 5 today, and oddly playing texas in our first game

with a 1/3 average there are far more upsets in the 5-12 slot then any others
