Dont understand why so many people are crying for expansion


It's more football.

Not to mention, many argued that UGA should have been in the playoff as one of the best four. We saw what happened last night.

Upsets happen. But they happen much less frequently when you only have 4 teams.

March Madness is awesome and so is the NCAA baseball tournament.

You know what sucks? The four team playoff.

It's the single worst way to crown a 'champion' in all of sports.

A single elimination tournament in a high variance sport involving 68 teams? Asinine.

It exists solely because of office pools and gambling and shite. Not because it's a good system.

College basketball has the worst regular season in all of sports because of its ridiculous postseason. Every match up between top 10 teams is almost completely meaningless. Both teams are making the tournament, who cares, maybe if you win a few of them you get a #1 seed instead of a #2.

The ironic thing is, despite college football historically having the most bizarre and maddening system for crowning their champion, it on average produces a higher quality champion than almost every other major sport.

They've wanted to expand March Madness to 128... First thing they talk about is first 4 out and who got snubbed. Personally I wish it was best of 3 series starting with the Sweet 16

Yeah, they played in the Sugar Bowl because they didn’t make the 4 team playoff.
