Option 2: Final Four (UW loses tonight)

Okay, so here's a question for you Marquette fans, especially aimed at those that live in Wisconsin. I have two scenarios. In the first, you don't know the outcome. In the second, you do. Which position would you rather be in on April 2nd, the day before the final?
1) Marquette and Wisconsin both advance to the national title final with ultimate state bragging rights on the line. MU has a shot at winning it all, but could also lose to the Badgers and suffer eternal humiliation to arrogant Badger fans.
2) The Badgers lose to Butler in the Sweet 16, Marquette advances to the Final Four but loses to Duke/UConn before getting a chance to reach the title game. Undoubtedly a successful year, but without a chance at the ultimate prize.
This seems pretty one sided to me...
I'd take a chance of losing to UW in the finals (and thus a chance at beating UW in the finals) over making it two more rounds past UW in the tourney.
Didn't read before I voted.....Definitely would have switched if I knew that the outcome was not predetermined.
I'd take the title chance.....the whole world would be on our rivalry....much like the packers bears rivalry for the nfc championship provided ultimate bragging rights for pack fans, this would provide ultimate bragging rights for the winner.....bring on that title shot!
