Re: March Madness

Not just that, just when you have a good idea of who's gonna be in....some team like Miami (FL) or Wright State spoils your bracket (or even George Mason).

Let's post a hypothetical situation here:

As far as I'm concerned.........ONLY

North Carolina
UCLA
Southern Illinois
Ohio State
UVA
Virginia Tech
Nevada
Boston College
Florida
Vanderbilt
Kentucky
Maryland
Oregon
Arizona
USC
Butler (perhaps)
Wisconsin
Georgetown
Pitt
Notre Dame
Louisville
Syracuse

(Duke and GA Tech have too poor of conference records to be included)
(Among those teams not automatically in).

In the ACC you have a crazy situation as:

Miami (the 12-seed) beats Maryland and faces Boston College
NC State (the 10-seed) beats Duke (the 7 seed)
Florida St. (the 9 seed) beats Clemson (the 8 seed and a team once unbeaten earlier in the season)

If Wake Forest (the 11-seed) beats Ga. Tech (the 6 seed), you could potentially see teams supposedly locked or near locked (Seeds 5-8) sweating on the bubble and if MIAMI of all teams wins, we could see the ACC champ in a play-in game because A) they'll probably still have a losing record and B) they don't have enough quality wins to guarantee much higher

Wright State secured a 2nd bid for the Horizon League by beating Butler in the championship

So if you've hoped for Drexel, West Virginia, Hofstra, Missouri State, or any other bubble team: start sweating what could happen.
