None of these matches were "upsets". Pretty obvious from their struggles in earlier matches that Georgia and Alabama were overseeded, and also obvious that Stanford and UCLA are underseeded. Pretty useless ranking system when the top 4 teams lose in the quarters and none would be considered upsets by knowledgable observers.
HOW ABOUT SOME LIVE STATS FROM GEORGIA TECH!!!!! Great for College Tennis…NO STATS!!
WOW…and we are changing the FORMAT of College Tennis for TV…and you can't even have Live Internet Stats for the Quarters at the NCAA'S!!!!! HELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
There were live stats...all you had to do was scroll down on the indoor courts page. Next time be sure of something before ranting and raving.
