If the BCS was used to determine the 2001 Final Four

11. Just For Fun
Not much to do last Friday night in Blacksburg. It was either count the
bacteria spores in the corner of our hotel room window, or come up with
another item for BMOC.
BMOC won. Sort of.
Just for grins we asked ESPN.com's BCS guru Brad Edwards to crunch some
numbers. What would have happened had the BCS Standings formula been used in
college basketball last season?
Allowing for the Apples vs. Oranges argument that comes with applying the
BCS formula to hoops, Edwards went to work. He factored in poll rankings,
computer rankings, schedule strength and the number of losses -- just like
they do with the BCS -- and here are the results:
Your 2002 Final Four at Atlanta -- No. 1 seed Duke, No. 2 seed Kansas, No. 3
seed Oklahoma, No. 4 seed Cincinnati.
Maryland, which actually won the whole One Shining Moment thing, finished
No. 5 in the analysis. Please don't tell Gary Williams. He yells really loud
and uses bad words.
