So, I will save my bracketology update for next week (along with most of my commentary on the committee\u2019s bracket). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I am pleased – if I counted right only 1 of the 249 brackets in the bracket matrix got all 68 teams and only 21 got 67. And I got 67!!!!! My seeding probably kills my score – but I still feel good about what I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will say this about the committee. At first glance without digging in, the committee got the teams right. The first four teams left out were the West Virginia team I just spent the last hour typing about, a team in Indiana that was doing so bad to their standards that they forced their coach to resign, an Ohio State team that at 17-15 would have tied the worst record ever by an at-large team, and Boise State, a team from the Mountain West (as we watch San Diego State from that conference get beat by fellow bubble team by 35 as I type this). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all love the debate of which teams should have got in. I might have preferred seeing WV or Indiana or a small conference regular season champion over a 6-12 team in conference. But for the most part, we have the right 68 teams playing for the National Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
