NCAA rejected any talks of expanding the tournament from 68 to a more rounded number in the near future after some questions in an announcement to the press today.
It could be related to everyone thinking the lower conferences would get some extra benefit from the extra spots (at least 1 or 2 of the extra spots) but ESPN is predicting all 4-5 extra spots to go to the "BCS"/Top 6 conferences. |

The best 68 teams should get the spots, who cares what conference.

It's not 64 teams anymore? 16 in each bracket?

Nope it went up to 68 now and instead of 1 play-in game (64 v 65), its now 4 play-in games but done a bit differently.
Instead of just having all 4 play-in winners be #16 seeds, its set as 2 winners are a #16 seed, 1 winner as an #11 seed, and 1 winner as a #12 seed this year. |

Sorry to pull a Big Vito 22 here but after seeing that North Carolina win against Miami I'm fully expecting another gay ass team to win this year and get all the help they need from the refs.

Come on now, erasing a 19 point deficit with 10 minutes to go is impressive. The refs screwed unc just as much as Miami.

Nah I think they set it up so that the last 4 at large teams have to play play-in games so that it's not just the little conferences that have to do the play-in games every year.

I doubt they will always change the extra 4 seeds but wouldn't be surprised if the first few tournaments have them flipping some spots around to find the best play-ins.
I think the NCAA had said they don't want to make all of them #16 seeds or else they could end up with a strong #16 seed than normal from one of the Top 6 conferences. |

Not that they are ever going to make a realistic run at anything ever but it is hilarious to see every time they (Clemson) put themselves in a good position they choke. I have never seen them win an NCAA tournament game despite having some pretty legit teams the last few years.
I do like Bradley Brownell much more than that gross darkie Purnell though |

Duke got another "easy" bracket this year as the lowest #1 seed. All the big names except for #4 Texas are in the bottom of the bracket.
Ohio State as the #1 overall 1st seed got a tougher group than Duke. Might be similar to Kansas or Kentucky's extra tough group of last year. Big East managed to get 11 teams into the field. |

ESPN trying to trash the lower conferences (UAB, VCU) so that more of the bigger conferences get a bid (ex. Alabama even though they have a 80 for RPI). This year the Big 6 got 30 out of 37 non-automatic bids.Florida as a #2 makes no sense especially how they got destroyed by Kentucky today. Also not shocked UNC and Duke play their games again in N. Carolina although weird in calling that the "West" bracket even though the finals in in California. |

Florida's getting bounced real quick. don't worry.
Excited where St John's is and very excited to possibly get Carolina/Syracuse in the 16. no way Georgia is a 10. kind of liking Marquette over Xavier. Butler/OD is a tough call |

UConn should be able to get to the Sweet 16 but after that not too sure.
Gonna analyze the brackets and make my picks in the group tomorrow or something. |

jay bilas, the astounding chud that he is, says that they got the number one seeds perfect. i do not see his logic..we have pitt, who didnt win a game in their conference tourney grab the 3rd number one seed, and SD State who only lost twice THIS YEAR, both to BYU i might add, gets a 2 seed...how does that work? I live in Tucson, and grew up in Southern Arizona, so my allegiance is with the Wildcats, and im happy we are back in the dance. however that being said, i do believe they put us with one of the toughest roads to make a run. our first game is against Memphis who is coached by Josh Pastnor, a member of our 97 national championship team, and honored UA alum. not to mention we have to potentially knock off Texas, Duke, Uconn, and SD State. we lose to a solid Washington team and they punish us with the dreaded 5 seed in the group of death. anyways, i do not have my picks yet, and would like to be directed to the tpww final four picks.
