Have an 8 team playoff with a 7 game series for every round. FWIW, I wouldn't change the NCAA tourney at all. But RM and SFP have serious problems with some of it and I was just pointing out the obvious.

Any 1 and done basketball tournament is a really really stupid way to crown a true champ.

Half the teams....double elimination? I like it the way it is.

Not really. It'll be LSU and MSU from the SEC instead of LSU and UT or LSU and Auburn. I see your point, but this is a terrible example.

Tenn is in the tourney man. I think they have the best shot to go deep.

Varnado and 4 quick guards could give matchup problems....

LSU and Tennessee were already in. I think MSU took Florida or Auburn's place. SEC will have three teams.

7 game series

In NCAA basketball? Yeah right.

So those teams have a possibility of playing 21 games, while dealing with travel expenses and (in theory) working on their education.

3 games series might work, but any more than that is not feasible for the NCAA.

Tenn is in. Its not a terrible example. If MSU doesn't win this game they are not in the tourney

They should do like the CWS and turn the elite 8 into a double elimination tourney

St. Mary's or Penn State might be more deserving but it's close and St. Mary's plays in the WCC

We'll find out when the brackets come out. Before the tourney MSU wasn't even in the conversation. They are a 9 win team from a weak SEC

No way Penn State is more deserving than Miss State. St Mary's may get the sympathy vote.

My fault. I see Lunardi has UT as a 6 seed in his latest update. What the frick? Does Pearl have compromising photos of these people or something?

I see your sarcasm but if you had played your arse off all season only to get screwed by losing ONE game you would be pissed.

Well,if State stole one,it was from Auburn. Auburn was every bit as deserving as some of these Big 10,Big East and ACC 'bubble teams' everyone is slobbering over.
