[wow]

Amat beat St. Bonaventure head up but they're ranked higher? AND Amat beat ND handily who plays tougher competition than St. Bonaventure... How did that happen?

[DDlew]

Because St. Bonaventure dominated that game with Amat, but managed to give them a Pick-6 and a kick return for a TD. Amat managed about a 130 yards of actual offense and didn't score a single offensive TD in regulation. Anyone who actually watched the game knows that.

[UCLABOOG]

How is it fair that Valencia the number #1 seed in the Northern Division has to play Thousand Oaks in a re-match game? It is like they get punished for being the top seed while St Bonnie gets what should be a yawner against Oxnard?
