I just want to see Kent crash the party. People seem to love cinderella in basketball but hate her in football. I don't get it.

The other difference is people care more about football. People want the best team(s) to play for the Championship. For basketball it's a tournament and people don't really care as much. Could you imagine the outrage if a team that was 0.500 in conference play was in the BCS National Championship game?

If it was an SEC team, the media would just say "DAT'S THEM THAR TUFF ESS EEE SEE SCHEDULE, WEEK IN 'N WEEK OUT" and that would be the end of that.

CFB simply isn't used to that kind of parity... hell, they just now accepted a plus 1. A CBB team can have a couple of bad losses on their resume and still get a 1 seed... and something like that is supposed to completely eliminate a CFB team. Also, relatively unknown CBB teams have been known to compete with top 25 teams for years... but, Kent State football? I generally don't like Cinderella teams.... at least in CBB, there are generally at least a handful of teams worthy of NC talk, so if one goes down, it's not a huge deal. In CFB, mentioning 3 teams is stretching it some years, so I think people simply prefer seeing those few teams play each other.

I'm a much bigger fan of my own team. It just so happens that they suck this year.
