					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;d shudder at the thought of a Big Ten team boring me to tears and making it to the Final Four.

I really don&#039;t see anything that tells me Michigan State will make it that deep. I&#039;d put my money on Louisville making a good run though.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Matt- That&#039;s a scheduling quirk I wasn&#039;t aware of, and since I&#039;m not a committee member (waiting for the invite), I can&#039;t tell you for sure if they look that deep when deciding the #1 seeds. If it comes down to, say, Pitt and Louisville for the final #1 seed and Louisville edged them in the regular season standings-wise (as it looks like they will), the easier schedule could be a factor in preventing them from passing Pitt. It should be, IMO. Pitt has played at UConn, Louisville and Providence. This will probably end up resolving itself in the BET.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Zach,

You mention Louisville as a possible #1 seed?  How does the committee take into account the unbalanced schedule in the Big East?  Louisville may very well win the Big East without having to go on the road against 4 of the other top 5 teams in the current standings (#1 UConn, #3 Pitt, #4 Marquette, #6 Providence).  That would be like North Carolina not having to go to Duke, Wake Forest, and Clemson, or Michigan State not having to travel to Purdue, Illinois, or Ohio State.]]></description>
