[MSG1716]

I think us as #5 overall seed is fair.  That loss to Miami was the difference.  The other difference was Penn St beating Nebraska last week.  If they had lost I think Penn St moves to the #5 seed and the ACC gets three #1 seeds.  SMU was moved to a #2 seed because of beating both Pitt and Penn St, so they like a potential rematch with Pitt.  I'm sure they like a third Louisville-Stanford match.  Hope we do better in Louisville this time.  We should have confidence after yesterday and hope it's a similar match.

The ACC had 4 teams ranked #1 or #2, appropriate for the best RPI conference in the country.
