YES…and…even these articles are biased toward only discussing Big Sky & MVFC problems. They don’t even touch on the committee’s stupidity with having Furman & Elon matched up in Round 1, with Samford not a Top 4 seed…and with Furman not seeded.
Or on the bias of Seeding 1 thru 4 as MVFC, BSC, MVFC, BSC ensuring those Teams from those Conferences have home games thru the Semi’s (if they don’t lose…which bye weeks and home games sure help them not do) and that they are on opposite sides of the bracket. Putting Samford in the Top 4 would have put a wrinkle in the biased symmetry.
The whole thing is a shell game and needs to be blown the f up. Or…in nicer, more popular terms … reimagined
