I don't see how it doesn't Those "first four" wins count on official NCAA records as tournament games

So 2 tournament wins to me means winning the play in game and then winning the round of 64 game and losing in the round of 32.

The poll should be re-done to clear up the ambiguity -- instead of saying how many wins in the tourney, state which round they make it to (i.e. lose in). Don't know if the intent was the Sweet Sixteen or Round of 32.

I actually was thinking of the sweet 16, but either way I would have voted the same. Conference championships are nice, but the NCAA tournament is what really matters to me.

I'm sure that I overthought this (which would actually be a first) But I had two realistic scenarios of A) BYU (no conference championship) wins a "First 4" and then wins in the round of 64, and loses in the round of 32...
Or
BYU (Conference championship) looses in the round of 64. Our season ends on the same week (but two days earlier) We've already got a First four win, and a round of 64 win. I'd like a WCC conference championship (either regular season or tourney. My vote is the same either way)

The one on the left, after all, Trump and Hillary are the same.

I have to vote for Tourney wins. Although they have won one here and there, they are generally a one and done year after year. That is the bigger monkey on their back at this point, and they need to get it off. Losing another conference championship to Saint Zagga is not as big a deal as losing another first round game to another who's not who of NCAA basketball
