I like the underdog role....

I think they should fix their format a little. Like in any major sport if you win your conference you get a higher seed despite your record.

So we won the SunBelt I think we should get a top 4 seed for being a conference winner.

Where as teams like Villanova or Miami, despite maybe a tougher schedule and better RPI they didn't win their conference.

This will also give fans of mid major programs like an FAU, FIU even Portland more of a reason to watch rather than "oh we're gonna be an 8 seed and lose in the 1st round"

Just my $.02


I like your thought, Jab.  They could be a little different, maybe even create matchups that generate interest.  Throw seeds out the window and put teams together that people may enjoy watching and therefore people actually watch.  Why set it up exactly like the NCAA, be different.  It won't happen because sports society is not that progressive, but I like it.

Agreed. It won't happen but it would be nice, why not try and separate yourself from the big dance. Maybe if you do things differently and like you said create a game based on the match up or even if you do seedings, having a team in S. Florida fly all the way across the country to face USC is retarded. Besides I think a UCF/Miami-FAU match up would be cool for everyone involved

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Considering we're still waiting on prizes from the football season my guess would be no to both.

Doesn't mean someone can't start their own on yahoo or cbs for fun and post a link to the invite

I was going to send something out to everyone who participated in the Final Four contest last year…only thing is, I have no money for prizes; so was thinking maybe a pool?

$5 a head and winner takes all??


In regard to Jabs comment:

I have nothing to do with football contests.
