The tournament is a crapshoot.  Ask the two Final Four teams who avoided playing a 1 or 2 seed on their way there. 

I admire your conviction of being wrong.  I do appreciate you making this poll, too.  It’s been quite amusing
I just showed my work on how the tournament is mathematically not a crapshoot.

Your (or anyone else’s) cope opinion doesn’t change basic math.

It is a crapshoot.  Avoiding 1 and 2 seeds.  Crapshoot. 

I love how you think it’s coping.  You’re funny.

Numbers?  Like avoiding a 1 or 2-seed?  Playing a team underseeded, overseeded?  Playing a team that’s a bad matchup?  Injuries?  Team getting healthy?

I don’t have to reach.  The tournament has been and always will be a crapshoot.  That’s just facts.  The math proves it.  If it wasn’t a crapshoot, the number one overall seed would win it every year.  Why play it?  Because it’s a crapshoot, that’s why.

But one scenario has 12 mathematically possible outcomes and the other has 68 mathematically possible outcomes.

Yes.  It’s a crapshoot.  If it wasn’t, the top 4 seeds would reach the Final 4 every year.

Let’s just agree on one fact at a time.

86% > 16.67%

Anything with even 0.0000001% variability is now a crapshoot!

If the top 4 seeds reached every Final 4 for 99 years and then one year it was the top 3 seed and the 5th seed, it’s now a crapshoot!

That’s the logical box you’ve just painted around yourself!

None of those things have happened, because the tournament is a crapshoot.

Grab what goalposts?  I haven’t moved a single goal post.  The tournament is a crapshoot.

You: “If the tournament wasn’t a crapshoot all top 4 seeds would go to the Final Four every single year”

Me: proceeds to logically and mathematically explain how what you said is not the inverse of a crapshoot.

You: “doesn’t matter it’s never happened!”

Math and logic actually disprove it. You saying those words without showing any work doesn’t make it true.

Seriously guys.  I'll allow you each one more reply to each other if you choose.  After that, I've got the banhammer ready.
