Actually, the seeding isn't that bad.. we wouldn't have to face FSU until the CWS so... Illinois will have to face Mizzou and if they win that, face FSU to reach the CWS.. Our champions face Okie State and when they win that then they get Clemson... The seeding isn't as bad as it appears.

I was just going to say essentially this; Mizzou is a super hot team right now - also, a super with FSU would be tough. 

I think we can go toe-to-toe with Okie Light (though they just beat OU in the Big 12 Title Game) - and potentially Clemson in the super.  It's not an easy road, but virtually no matter where we would have ended up is not going to be an easy road. There is a ton of parity in softball right now.

Yes, non-con means something.  However, once in conference play and one team is undefeated against the other, it should mean quite a bit.

Of course it should - and I'm not arguing against Nebraska here since we essentially agree - I think when Nebraska beat Michigan it may have been viewed as an anomaly.  

The Huskers have definitely proved it belongs in the rankings at the very least. Ahead of Michigan? Also yes. I hope they continue to to do well in preparation for the Big Ten Tournament.

The NAME is the perception...

That's a lot of it. Also, Michigan's non-conference schedule included playing a lot of really tough opponents. Nebraska's? Not so much. That said, when a team wins 18 in a row, I don't care who you play - that should get one ranked. And now it has. Took long enough. 

She did great! Ya'll should really catch some of the games from the league. Fantastic volleyball. Check your local listings, but the majority are over the weekend on FS1 or Bally's Channel. Over the summer, the softball league will be back - and I believe former Husker Taylor Edwards is signed on to play this season.
