When your talking 1 loss, 2 losses, 3 losses ... it's hard to definitively say one team should be awarded the No. 1 seed on that basis (number of losses) alone ... especially when the 3 teams in question play in different leagues and have completely different schedules.bman wrote:As for the SOS argument, Athens argues with playing Akron SVSM and Warren with Bishop Watterson that those were tough games and games that teams in SE Ohio couldn't beat. I agree with that statement 100 percent. So let's add Akron SVSM to LE's loss count to compare them to Athens or Watterson to LE's to compare them to Watterson. LE still has less losses than either Athens or Warren, and now has the SOS cred argument. I'm throwing all out-of-state wins or losses out of the argument for now because we don't have a favorable way of comparing. I did notice the argument of well Portsmouth beat a team LE lost to in the Florida tournament. That comes down to matchups. Not saying LE would beat Portsmouth, but going against a FLCA team that went 7-4, 7-1, 6-10, 6-8, and 6-6 with its starters in that tournament was a tough matchup for a team that's tallest player is 6-2.
Athens went 19-1 in 2009 and WASN'T awarded the No. 1 seed ... the entire 'resume' will be judged and evaluated by each coach in Jackson and then they'll decide who the No. 1 is.
If we were to 'nit-pick' at things ... If Warren beats Athens by more than 1-point, couldn't they say they deserve the 1 over LE because the Braves only beat Athens 60-59? To me, that's a little ridicules as are some of the other comparisons ... I'm guessing if Warren DOES beat Athens, they just flat out have more quality wins and the more impressive resume, IMO.
