[Holdheide, Brad]

14th in the polls and a near win in the Final 8 is A LOT different than 18th
in the polls and a blowout second round loss.

The fact remains we finished 18th and X finished 14th.  The discourse on
this forum suggested that everything was so awful at UC and everything was
so wonderful in X land.  Four spots difference after all that blather.

I'm not really sure what you need an explanation on? Are you asking why
UC ended up ranked 18th in the nation?? Do you believe they should have
been ranked higher or lower?? and....What does the last sentence in
your post exactly mean?? I'm Confused???
