Is this the dumbest thing in sports? I can't imagine if right after announcing the playoff teams, CFB analysts were going on and on about who the fvck the Tire.com 3000 Bowl picked.

I don't even know wtf a Monmouth is. Who gives a fvck about this nonsense? Let's start talking about the real games. No own really gives a fvck about who's left out, it's forced fury 100%.

Because the "Tire.com" bowl has zero impact on the Sugar Bowl or Rose Bowl. Not the same in the tourney

If you leave it up to the committee members, you have no room to bitch.

It's because a lot of us love seeing the underdog upset in the NCAA tournament.

When .500 teams from major conferences get in, the tournament simply isn't as interesting to me (and, I would imagine, many other people).

They did exactly what the NCAA asks all teams not in the power conferences to do. They went on the road, they played the big boys, they put together a great record. But they didn't win their conferences tournament, even though they won the regular season title. So the NCAA just gave them a middle finger and said we'd rather a mediocre name team than you little guys.

No one cares? Everyone finds a cinderella story once a year in the tourney!

How many Monmouth fans will travel to a distant regional compared to how many Michigan fans? Do you think there will be as many Monmouth fans as Syracuse fans watching on television, or listening on radio? This is all about money. The NCAA wants to maximize ticket sales and gate attendance for current revenue, and it wants to maximize ratings for leverage when negotiating the next television and radio contracts.

It's hard to argue these bubble teams don't matter when 11/12 seeds have made the Elite 8 and Final 4.
