[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 1879211, member: 748794"] For me, the answer would always be yes, Purdue is still a 1 seed. I know many others would disagree as Purdue obviously would be much much worse without Edey and probably not a tourney team, but I think seeding really needs to be based on your season accomplishments and resume and reward you solely for that. More simply put, I believe the name on the front of the jersey gets rewarded for it's accomplishments regardless of what names on the back of the jersey are available to play. It's an easier to see argument to make in football as there are so few teams that make the playoffs, but imagine the metrics were to suggest our Illini have the 4th best resume in the country and should get that college football playoff spot, however we unfortunately had our star players go down in the Big 10 Title game and we are a shell of our former self without them. Would we deserve to get bounced from the CFP and replaced by a team that accomplished less and is in theory less deserving? Not even giving us our chance to try to win a Natty? It just never has sat right with me, but that's how it pretty much is. Just feels too subjective for my liking [/QUOTE]
