Comp next.
TF teams have until 12 to be in the lanes. Two there now, two to go.

Not the same thing - Gonzaga State can't take out North Carolina if they weren't included in the selection process.
Plus, there are at large entrants who didn't win their conference tournament but had a record good enough to be included. Note that they use the season's record in addition to the playoff format in the various conferences, unilke the NHRA.

No worries
, just nice to know that I'm not the only one who has outbursts like that.
It is widely known that the best team isn't always the one that wins championships in other sports. In season trades, home field adavantage, refs, injuries, hot streaks at the right time, matchups and other things play into that. In drag racing our champ has always been whoever was the best that season over the entire season, one of the only true champs in sports. Now that is gone, a bastardize welfare racing system
Honest difference of opinion = whining?
Supporting the program = brown nosing?
Funny how a choice of words works.
I've wondered about the re-transmission of copyrighted material in the past but since an NHRA employee/contractor is doing it I guess the answer is it's OK.

At least the NHRA format has a formal selection criteria for all positions.
The NCAA ignores season records, rankings, and strength of schedule (see 2006 University of Akron men's basketball team) to choose whichever teams that they like in the 'at-large' selection process.
Imagine the furor if the "NHRA Selection Team" decided to place Ashley Force as the 8 seed because she was more marketable than another driver.

Unless of course your driver ignores the "ref" and his direction to shut off the car, doesn't get penalized, and then wins the 2007 Top Fuel Championship by one round.

i agree! alan was nice enough to take over , and this countdown argument has to appear again. now alan left. im surewe all dont like the countdown, but this thread is not the place.
Now I'm confused. In your first message, you put up the NCAA Tournament as example to be respected...
And now you're pointing out that it's not that good?
And you didn't address the ability of a team not in competition for the title being able to take out one that is.

No, I pointed it out to support my "it is what it is" statement.
Whether it be NHRA or NCAA, the "sanctioning body" gets to choose how they determine their champion, no matter how flawed the process may be.
As far as I'm concerned, we now return to our regularly scheduled thread.
