Why? Non Big 10 and SEC schools got alot more opportunity with this new system than they previously had.

They were all completely overmatched or choked today like Arizona St.

Yeah that window is gonna shrink more and more each year. It will start with the conference champs not getting a bye so ESPN can just tilt the scales in favor of the SEC/B1G invitational.

ESPN has made it clear they don't care if I watch. So I won't.

Will it matter. Oh hell no.
Yeah just have no interest in the rest of these games. It might be one thing if there was even a semblance of a fair selection process and competent officiating.
Our own conference received a bye.

Seriously, if you are going to complain and moan tell me what 12 would you have compared to what they had in? Don’t cry and complain come with an actual answer.

The only team that didn’t get consideration was BYU in my opinion. Who is yours?

They need to seed it 1-12 and the top 4 get byes. I'm sorry, but conference champions don't deserve byes when we have 20 team conferences and they only have to play 50% of teams in their own conference.

Yeah under that system the Big 12 won’t sniff a bye ever. I don’t disagree that seeding 1-12 is probably best but I think we all know how this will go. Hell, the Big 12 will be lucky to even host a first round game.

Do they at least deserve a home game in the previous round?

I won't complain about who ultimately ended up that much, but the Big12 should have been higher (3rd ranked conference champ). I also don't think Alabama should have even been in contention for the last spot. Those are directly involving the ranked teams. There was also plenty of adjacent funny business. Teams near the end of the rankings with unrealistic rankings to justify other rankings.

Then you had every media person ******** last week about it should have been more SEC teams.

Yes, I'd be ok with 1st round home games, not automatic byes just for beating up on Nevada and San Jose St all year.

Honestly it won't matter either way, the best teams will rise to the top like every year. It's not March Madness where some 8 or 9 seed makes the finals.
