This should never be a thing. No team should have a big advantage in the semis or finals. It will happen of course sometimes but those 6 spots randomly rotate right?

---

i dont really disagree here at all, but unfortunately it does exist and playing close(r) to home is considered an advantage for the higher seeded teams. most teams do not have locations as close as atlanta, i understand, but we do. that is not in my control.

Also, why would rotating from 2/3 change where the semifinals were?

---

i honestly don't have this selection process for location down yet in year 2. it might not matter at all. i think if indiana loses, though, that it could come into play? anyone can feel free to correct that or let me know how exactly it's gonna be decided.

Georgia lost in the regular season and Ohio state went undefeated in the regular season and only lost in the conference championship, in a thrilling game, to a team that was ranked #2
Makes sense to me tbh

that has NEVER been the discussion before. georgia and ohio state both played conference championship games. they absolutely CAN and SHOULD be evaluated and compared on all 13 games. we are ranking these elite teams on the margins, that's all we have.

does only who you lost to matter? who you beat is more important than who you lose to. that is, i guess, a subjective opinion, and both have their place in the discussion, but neither is the sole deciding factor in an entire resume.

frick it, i want this discussed...

why does no one care about this at all? because UGA got a "good draw" in the 6/11 match up? because the ND/Miami/Bama shite is more dramatic?

this is a big deal and just makes absolutely no sense. way more evidence that the committee is just making shite up as they go. do the conference championship games matter or not? is the only thing that matters how strong your losses are?

some years the CCGs matter, some they dont? you can't move uga ahead of ohio state, because then you have to adjust bama for losing? what's the story?

uga's resume is better than ohio state's. there's really no arguing that. nobody cares cause it's uga and ohio state?

im just curious at the complete and total lack of interest in what i find to be a very intriguing talking point.

i understand the bracket opens up pretty fine for us playing a 6 seed that just lost their coach, BUT

we/everyone should be way more upset about this. literally makes absolutely zero sense that we arent the 2 seed. i have seen almost no discussion on this, but it's shocking.

i have successfully entered the draw

FSU: best win Bama

UGA: best win Marshall


Yeh, Jesus Christ how are they behind Georgia

want to preface by saying i dont care where florida state is ranked. id have them really high right now, for sure.

but you can always take it a step further, though.

in your world here that you're creating....after 1 week, how do you know that marshall isnt better than alabama? all we know is they both lost. are you saying that you're going to go by past performance and roster construction to say that alabama is a better win than marshall?

and now ohio loses in the winners bracket days after destroying this same team.

florida, louisiana, and ohio all get completely fricked by a terrible tournament

the regions for this absolutely suck now and the tournament structures are horrible in an association where pitch count and pitcher availability is basically the entire game.

there are like 5 regions that are just absolutely dogshit with only 4 teams and then you have the southwest and southeast that are complete monsters.

the west is only 4 teams, but at least 3 of them are gonna be really good.

apparently it is done by little league participation? that would make sense as participation in LL specifically in the southeast and southwest is going to be much lower than the east coast and north east. unfortunately the part where it doesnt make sense is that those teams all suck, but like 4 of them get to go to the LLWS.

ohio is going to go through the same thing that lousiana is. they did not get a BYE and are 3-0 and into the finals. illinois can make the finals at 2-1 and only have to win once (after losing to ohio 11-1) to win the regional. so dumb.

lyle is impersonating sam haig. it's not the same actor for 2 people, it's just lyle the whole time.

i wish/hope this is big cat and brandon and not dave, but im assuming that's not possible.
