Big 12/Pac 10 Hardwood Challenge Topic

Oh, I think you have set it up fairly corn.  I am just saying that for myself I do not need this series to build my rpi, and that I play Kansas already every year.  The other point was that the top 5-6 teams in each conference are well matched up.  But then you dominate the bottom half.  So the overall series outcome is pretty much predetermined.

The other thing is that I hate Texas, since they stole the Rose Bowl in 04.  And I have tried to avoid playing them even in SIM.

Just count the Kansas/Stanford matchup for the series every year, and work around it.  I have a series basically with a school in most of the big 6 conferences.  A lot of other coaches do not, so this thing is mostly for them.

I'll play texas

UCLA could play Oklahoma then.

Lots of complaining it seems over a genuinely nice act on the part of corn...but whatever floats your boat.

Now I just have to get the pairings set up.  My first priority is making sure that no team plays home-home-home or away-away-away: second priority is conforming loosely to seed while avoiding rematches when possible.  Let's ssee what I can do.
6/28/2011 5:53 PM
Pairings are ready pending Stanford's OK.  Pairings for the first three years have been very slightly in the Pac-10's favor home/away wise, but we've gotten through that with only one rematch (I think Kansas and UCLA are going to play again in S51) and no one playing everything at home or away.

S52's challenge will balance out the home/away problem, too.
6/28/2011 6:50 PM
