Sounds like Gravy is pushing hard for Indiana to be in the top 8, instead of talking about how others are seeded too high, i would concentrate on being ready for next weekend

this group. I would swap them with Wake Forest/Swarthmore. Purdue and> WUStL are seeded too high, Pitt and Tenn are seeded too low.
It sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. GT has been quite solid this year. Purdue and WUStL have as well (and WUStL beat you, boy). Swat just won a tournament. Meanwhile, Pitt may be seeded a little low, but Tennessee has been getting beat left and right. Last I checked, the score reporter said they were 3-10 this spring. (Just checked again, they're 8-13 now). Not exactly a glowing recommendation for a better seed.

Actually its top 6 from seeds 9-21 who move up, along with top 2 from seeds 22-33.
It sounds like GT/Wash/Purdue are all one team, its cute how you all kiss each other's backsides. I don't know if I already posted this here or on the Terminus thing, but Wash U didn't beat Indiana's A team, and Purdue's college team hasn't beaten us since last year at regionals. As long as we're in the top 21, the seeding isn't a big deal.

Where has GT played well? The only results I saw for them were for queen city and they got beat by every team except UNC Wilmington and Delaware; both of which only beat b-teams the entire tournament. Also, Swat did win a tournament, but I looked at the teams at JMU and who can honestly rank any of them higher that GT even with their w/l record? GT should still be ranked higher than all those teams, but still not in the top 8.
