The BCS numbers say VCU will beat Maryland for the championship

It's so easy when you break in down scientifically.

1. That's alright

Sports weren't ever intended to be scientific.

2. I've been crunching the numbers

It's quite clear that VCU will win.

:bounce:

Not scientific? I guess that takes baseball out of the picture.

4. Not *intended* to be scientific

No one sat down and said that, "Hmm, what if we could design a pitch in which the air passing over the seams of the baseball would create such a friction that it would actually slow down half of the baseball, creating a change in velocity... we could call this a 'curve ball'..."

6. Actually you can do that with a basketball

the backboard helps sometimes too.

3. The BCS numbers? Is it football season already?

The rough equivalent in hoops is the RPI; at last check, VCU hadn't cracked the top 10. (or 20 or...)

Besides, as long as you're going to stay completely divorced from reality, why not posit an all-Richmond final between VCU and U of R? This has got to be a first down there, having both major schools in the Tournament (by comparison, the entire hoops-mad state of Indiana has only one, and it's Valpo!). Good on ya!

5. VCU already beat UR this year

but the rich kids get an #11 seed and we get an #13. Bastards....go back to NJ or whereever the hell you come from.
