This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

And they are defending National Champs, Still PAC12 has 25% by Domerduck

of the top 16 Seeds as 42% of their teams made the 48 team field even without Stanford (who've won 9 NCs) or USC (who've won 3 NCs) & UCLA who've won 4 NC's is the only unseeded PAC12 team who made it. It is a wierd year. The Big 10 got 43% of their teams in but all 6 are seeded. Big 12 only got 2 in (20%) but both are seeded whereas the SEC also got 2 seeded + 1 more unseeded for 21% of their teams. So the only non Power Conference seed was #16 BYU who was 1 of two invitees from the WCC.

With only 48 teams they had only 18 at larges which really effected the bigger Power conferences as the Big 10 & PAC12 always have more than 50% of their teams make it in the usual 64 team field. The ACC benefited from having a fall schedule which helped us get 4 teams in as usually we are not considered that strong of a conference. Neither the Big 10 nor the PAC12 played in the fall.
