Wanna know why no one cares about March Madness anymore this year? Who wants to see FOUR No. 1 seeds get into the Final Four? I mean, come on…can’t we leave a wildcard spot open for an underdog? (Mathmatically, no, we can’t.)
Sure, NC versus Kansas will be great basketball, and granted, it’ll have more emotion than any NBA game ever, but No. 1 seeds were invented so we’d always have a team to root against. When the Final Four underdog went 30-1 in the regular season, that’s a non-compelling plot arc for a tournament.
