so the AVCA is 20, nobody outside of a top 10 brags about being 17 or so with a losing record. The AVCA going to a top 20 is a publicity ploy, that's all. fine if my picks don't make it. mine is a list anyway not really how I 'feel' Yes the Top 20 is for publicity, so teams can market themselves better and hope to attract more fans to watch the games. It looks better to announce #2 Long Beach vs #17 George Mason instead of just saying #2 Long Beach vs George Mason. It also gives recognition to teams #16 - #20 for the hard work their doing- which looks more prevalent this year when there is more parity between teams.
Yall keep shouting and hoping to grow the game of MVB yet you cringe and look the other way when AVCA does something that helps to do that. SMH

lmfao well, lol that's just an opinion, and not even proof, that having #17 vs. #2 grows the game. and I seriously doubt the #17 prefix draws one extra fan, seriously c'mon. in MVB top 5 and top 10 mean something. in that case, why not just have the top 40, so won't #2 vs. #37 will 'grow the game'? ...because it won't anymore than having #20. IMO, the amount of time spent to do #1-5 will far exceed the amount of time people will even think about 16-20. IMO growing the game means the 'hard work' to get more D1 programs, after which expanding # of ranked teams. people are trying to get more D1 teams, as well as growing HS teams sponsoring. that's the 'hard work'. adding 5 more ranked teams frankly is a gimmick, but ok, no problem if the sport needs gimmicks, but don't make it more than what it is. 20/50 means 40% of teams ranked in mVB and frankly having 5 or 6 of those with losing records?? to me that's a bit embarrassing actually to have rankings where 25 % of the ranked teams will have losing records, it diminishes the sport. again my opinion. basketball, 25/350 = about 7%, so top 25 ranking MEANS SOMETHING so no, it's a publicity gimmick call it for what it is, and I get it, but no it won't necessarily grow the game and doubt that gimmick actually grows it one iota. grow the game, and then more rankings will come, as they should. but whatever |
