And Vermont. My issue is how they discount losses and

only look at the comparison of wins. UVA is a great team and those wins were impressive but they were blown out by others, including Army. That first loss wasn't a blip on the screen. It's who they are - a team capable of big games but also of major letdowns. I think if it's close you have to value head-to-head, especially this year when teams were mostly wedded to a limited non-conference schedule.

It's moot now and Syracuse has the talent to win at all or lose by 10 to Georgetown.

Agree on the travel budget having no impact on the decision between the two. My point was on the seeding not Army v. Syracuse.
