You can predict the Final Four participants 2 months before it happens? I need to call you before I bet!!
Each of the past 5 seasons there has been a #7 seed or worse in the Final Four. Hell, in 2014 a #7 and #8 played for the national championship.
Look at it this way. How many people said the ACC was far and away the best conference last season? Then 8 of the 9 teams that made the tournament got bounced in the second round or before. The SEC had the same amount of tournament wins with 4 fewer teams. Do you think the ACC was still the best conference? I do, but UNC proved to be the only team worth a shart in the tourney. See my point?
If not, the point is everything is subjective. If you took the time to read the article the author addressed all that. It was actually a pretty good article. Still trying to figure out why he wrote it though... as he is typically the guy that covers football and football recruiting for Cats Illustrated.
