NCAA March Madness > Crooked?

is the NCAA crooked or are they stupid? - How in the world can Michigan State have a play-in game? They beat all of the top tier BIG10 teams. And, then, a nice little team like Cleveland vikings catch a 15 seed ? The selectors had a tuff job this year factoring in that some teams missed lots of games on account of covid. BUT, they allowed some perennial favorites to get in, Syracuse - for instance, and ignored teams like Louisville and even the winner of the Horizon, a usually lousy conference, but w/ a team called Wright State that has a NBA draftee guy w/ a great name, Big Lou Love.
It would only require one extra week to allow all 335 teams, D-1, in to play. Increase the madness by stopping the unfair guessing madness.

Interesting proposal. I've heard it floated before. I'm not really a big fan of it. Most years there's only a handful or two of team's that realistically could win.
Lot of $ involved for ncaa and schools and it would be extremely naive to think that doesnt influence decision-making.
I usually dont pick favorites but from what I've watched this year it looks like Gonzaga going to be awfully tuff to beat. They have 3 guys that'll probably play in nba - that's imposing. I'll probably bet a few early games. I like vcu plus 5 1/2 pts against Oregon.

the BIG10 has some real great teams, in fact : two on the 1 line. The Zags have been #1 in the rankings all year. BUT, doggone, that Illini team is talented w/ two real rock solid big guys.
While i see the full field of 335 D1 teams as a way to avoid the oft unfair selections. -- I also am opposed to everyone getting in as just more of the everybody gets a trophy mentality.
HornbyDuke:
Well so long to the illini. Didn't anticipate the ramblers beating them but such is the cold truth of how the ncaa tourney rolls!
Lot of good bball ahead!
