December 7 was d-day for a few teams. As the Final Four and the New year's Six were announced there was cheering and jeering. The format is new, the resultant cheering and jeering was not.
Bottom line...I think they got it right. I don't know that my picks would have been any different. Yea...FSU has had a lot of close ones, and yea...OSU's 1-loss was to a now non-ranked team, and yea...many are tired of seeing Bama on top (again). But you can't ignore the facts and facts are that these teams won lots of games and made some pretty impressive showings.
The experts weren't too far off from their pre-season predictions of the Final Four (see pciture below). Me? Well I had five pre-season predictions, one of which was that neither Bama nor anyone from the Big 10 would be in. Guess I've got some homework to do before next year's predictions.
The Big-12 needs 12 teams. They need to stop any whining, appeals and hiring PR firms and just get on the bandwagon. Both TCU and Baylor seemed well deserving of a better spot. But so were many other teams on certain Saturday's...just not every Saturday.
