    Seriously dumb.

    We're looking at #22, #34 and #40 PW teams just taking up space in the tournament this year. If you're going to bother do this, do it right.

    Russ and Prof will hope to bury this post, but facts is facts.
    "Facts is facts"? Putting this after your opinion doesn't make it facts. Stating it over and over doesn't make it facts. Wishing so hard you wet yourself doesn't make it facts......

          The Electoral College is definitely an anachronism, since you asked. One person, one vote; it's as simple as that to me.

          Why should a Wyoming vote count as x 3.71 a California vote? That's *nearly* as absurd as the D-3 AQ's.

            This is a tournament of champions, win your conference autobid and get in, otherwise consider yourself lucky to have gotten a second chance.
            This is the usual dumb argument: just win the last couple of games (even if you go 4-21 on the season) and that alone makes you worthy to displace teams that have a much much better body of work.

            Come on.

            Some traditionalists natter-on in an annual attempt to rationalize this system, but it's logically indefensible by any reasonable measure.

                  F4 in Buffalo will be on 200x85. Most of the 1st and QF rounds will be the same. Norwich is 200x90. I don’t believe any of the hosting schools have 200x100.

                          Yeah, TBH I'm starting to get a little concerned about the status of the tournament coming up with all this going on. More and more teams, professional and college, are either playing games without fans or suspending the games. Have to wait and see if the NCAA & colleges make any kind of decision.

                            Feels like 50-50 or worse that we even have a Frozen Four this year

                              I think Goveror Cuomo is going to take care of your game by the weekend. He's running out of edicts to issue so I'm guessing sports is next up... now that he closed SUNY and CUNY campuses.

                                The Erie County Department of Health has banned spectators from LECOM-HarborCenter in Buffalo for the NY high school hockey championships. That arena is the site of @Atlantic_Hockey’s final four March 20 and 21.
