I had a plan – I was going to write all day. I never made it outside to exercise. Maybe tomorrow.

My blog posts took me more time to write than I had hoped because I had a few more pieces I wanted to write. But they will take a ton of time and research so they will have to wait until Sunday.

The one I will promise to eventually do is my Grading the Conferences. There are a bunch of articles that I see in the media that I try to do my own versions – of which, this is one of them.

I will also tell you one that I have seen ESPN do that I refuse to do because I hate. Each round, they do a Reseeding the Final Four / Elite Eight / Sweet 16, etc. I get what they are thinking, but at the end of the day, I think it is terribly unfair and it leads to choices that I think is unrealistic.

I know they are trying to identify what team is playing well at this very second and re-rank their chances. And they almost always read as the top 4 seeds still around are now the 1 seeds, the next top 4 seeds are now the 2 seeds, with a couple of changes simply so it is not just moving the teams down the board and they can claim they switched things up.

Why do we need to do this? Sure, it gives you a chance to try to correct a mistake by the committee on a team that you thought should have been 1 seed higher or lower.

But it normally leads to boring reads that have a horrible chance to be wrong. Just as an example from ESPN’s/

Alabama was ranked 14th of 16 in the Sweet 16. They were ranked 8th of 8 in the Elite 8. They were ranked 4th of 4 in the Final 4.

It makes it sound like ESPN simply doesn’t believe that Alabama should be winning any of these games.

If we did a decent job of seeding the teams to begin with, the rank ordering shouldn’t change because of a couple games. Can’t we just celebrate the fact that they pulled an upset to get where they are, and enjoy the Cinderella run that the team might be on? We can write one or two articles about how the tournament was seeded and then let the teams show that championships are won on the court and not on paper.

I know that the media needs material to last three weeks. I guess I do a lot of the same things because I like to have blogging material as well. But I still don’t know why I open the article every time and then go, why did I waste my time seeing that they still think that the #1 seeds are still 1 seeds.

Well – only 20 minutes until the games. Time for the Lunatic to rest his fingers for a little bit and possibly lose his voice instead. The Final Four is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
