Re: Bracketology

I imagine a room full of TBS and NCAA people, all saying "Let's see . . . how can we screw up the Selection Show even worse than it was before?"

Sure. Here's my guess:

Exec1: People were tuning out of the Selection Show as soon as the brackets were announced and we can't sell as much advertising on those back slots.

Exec2: What if we announced all the teams at the beginning but made people wait forever for the actual bracket?

Exec1: Hmm, then they'd have to stick around longer.

Exec2: Exactly.

Exec1: Well, should we come up with some stuff to entertain people in the middle of the show?

Exec2: Nah, people are just watching for the bracket anyway, so let's just throw some garbage together and let people complain on Twitter.

Exec1: Perfect. Who cares if the show is good, as long as we make more money.

Re: Bracketology

Davidson with a 12 is bad news. Recency bias with them winning today.

Avoided Arizona at least.

Re: Bracketology

So far, SDSU has dodged Arizona and Kentucky.

Re: Bracketology

No Wichita St. rematch.

Re: Bracketology

Buffalo with a 13 is good though. Back on track for a 12.

Re: Bracketology

No Wichita St. rematch.

No West Virginia either. Mountaineers are a scary team defensively.

Re: Bracketology

Jacks get Ohio State or Clemson?

Happy to avoid WVU, Kentucky, Arizona

Alabama at 19-15 gets in. St Marys ranked 20th and 28-5, gets left out.

That is definitely a good thing. Guarding Konate would be foul trouble waiting to happen for Daum.

Oklahoma also received a gift. Likely got in because of Trae Young.

Re: Bracketology

Penn gets Kansas in Wichita. Ouch.

Re: Bracketology

No Clemson.

So Ohio St?

Re: Bracketology

Thursday in Boise vs. Ohio State.

Best draw ever for SDSU?
