What would you equate the sweet sixteen to in college football during the BCS era?


A BCS bowl considering the sheer number of teams competing per year in the mens basketball division.

Hell, the tournament itself consists of more teams than all the BCS conferences combined.

Sorry I'm not buying that

If this was baseball, maybe.

Duke is vastly superior talent wise than all but maybe 10 teams in this tournament. But it's okay if they just make it to the sweet 16?

This. They are nothing alike. Only reason I said BCS bowl was because he asked a specific question.

Mercer's first shot defense has been pretty good

But you are not going to beat anyone losing the offensive rebounding edge 11-1

If you want to beat this Duke team, just pass around them. They have no clue what they are doing on defense.

I just don't look at teams like Duke, Louisville, Florida, Syracuse, Kansas, Michigan St, and North Carolina as having successful seasons if they only make the sweet 16

I admit my wording of "struggling" was an exaggeration, thoigh

except they aren't unsuccessful, either, which is what people seem to forget. duke and kansas make the sweet 16 and lose this year, no one is freaking out or even remotely worried about anything, really.

Duke will be lucky to make the sweet 16 this year. This team is frustrating, at best. A bunch of iso scorers, no playmakers, and a single competent defender in Thornton.

Yep...Mercer just isn't very good...Duke will get by them, but I'm interested to see them play a legit team like Tennessee.

And I have Duke in the Elite 8
