Eight teams playing to win the opportunity to be crushed by the top team in each bracket. Hey, it's an appearance.
Where the hell am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

The bottom eight teams could play each other to play the 1 seeds. That won't necessarily be the case though, I don't think...

Re: NCAA Tourney Expansion a Done Deal
And how many of those 3 extra bids go to teams from non-BCS conferences?!!! I bet they push the bottom conferences down another rung while they grant teams from BCS conferences one more needless chance. I think the play in game is one game too many, now they are adding 3 more. Unbelieveable.

Re: NCAA Tourney Expansion a Done Deal
They are called fishtail brackets in wrestling and they play for the opportunity to play the highest seeded teams. I really like it. What I hope that dawns on them is the idea that they should play those first four games on the same floor as where the champ game was going to be played. Starting and ending the tourney on the same court would be a pretty cool touch I think. They could even throw in an openning ceremony because of doing that. I also hope they change to calling them opening or prelim round instead of play-in games. I think calling them play-in belittles the game because it makes them seem to not be part of the tourney.

Re: NCAA Tourney Expansion a Done Deal
The best thing about this deal is that all games will be available in their entirety for everyone. For example, even though I currently live in Ohio, I can watch the BYU game on one of 4 channels.
