| Florida has had a pretty easy road to the Final 4.
16 seed.
9 seed.
4 seed.
11 seed. (Elite Eight)
Now, they either get 7 seed UConn or 4 seed MSU in the Final 4. It's looking like UConn at this point. So, is this too much of a "pussy Final 4" for Florida to be proud? | |

| Don't start a fight Hail. But, I will say this goes hand in hand with being a #1 seed which I said from the beginning was a huge advantage.
(Now am I starting a fight? lol)

| Also, I have never heard anyone say that any team's National Championship was tainted due to an easy road. EVER.
Once the banner is raised it's raised.

| How are the seeds that we played any harder than Florida's? | |

| I'm joking. I don't think an "easy route" is any less impressive than a "hard route". Winning X amount of games against NCAAT level teams is never "easy", so I'm taking a jab at those who believe in such things as "pussy championships". _________________  | |

| Hail, I think their assertion was if we played more difficult competition (IE higher seeds) we would be better prepared for tougher competition later in the tourney. (final 4)
That opinion has absolute validity to it. I do not know if it can be factually proven but it makes sense.
The idea that any team at any time has a "pussy" championship is ludicrous in my mind. But I do not feel that was the original intent of the thought.

this is 100% exactly what I meant when I said I'd rather get to to the FF against tougher teams.
