Gotcha, I forgot that the sagarin has never been wrong and the projected winner always wins! Honestly, we should probably just save everyone the risk of injury and anoint Chatard champs now.
I don’t think that Knox thinks that at all. I think that every team left should think they can win and if they don’t, they don’t belong here anyway.
Chatards schedule is impressive and it is obviously why they are favored but I wouldnt instantly dismiss a team because their schedule, which they have no control over, is “weak”.
If Chatard had the exact same team they have now but were from Royal Center you would still be praising whomever they were playing and have no idea because of their weak schedule.
You can only control whats in front and when it boils down, its two teams and the one that executes will win regardless of what their weak schedule or sagarin says.
