Like we've stated before. It's extremely rare for an underdog team to win the Basketball NC. It's great fun for the excitement element but in the end the best teams are always there. |

Far more Football Champions since them have been called "illegitimate". That was a funny post by Saul Good. |

If Alabama plays Florida State for the title, it will be the first time teams from bordering states ever play for the championship.

I'd prefer see a great Duke team take on a great Kentucky squad for a seat at the dance. The upset is fun in real time, but the consequences are that a team that's ill-equipped to advance often gets piss-pounded. I rarely root for upsets in football either. I didn't want to see LSU beat Alabama - as a college football fan, I want to see Alabama vs. FSU in the national championship. That's a damn compelling matchup. As a Mizzou fan I'd like to see us upset a team or two, but that's wearing my Mizzou hat. I recognize why people root for the underdog, I just hate the consequences. I want to see the most talented teams 'survive and advance'. |

I don't root against greatness just because it's great. Sports schadenfreude should be restricted to hated rivals. Extending it to great teams just because they keep winning is petty. |

The Big East was far better than the SEC is this year in football. Without Alabama the SEC in football this year is simply another conference. |
