The unthinkable happened this weekend. On Friday, number TWO Miami got beat. Yesterday, number ONE Alabama got beat pretty badly by Auburn. Teams that get beat this late in the season don't usually make the top four rankings. Are both Alabama and Miami now out of the top four?
I don't think Alabama will be, but this once again shows how awful an idea the top four tournament is. ONLY the top two teams should play for the title. That extra game format minimizes those huge losses by Miami and Alabama.
Before the tournament, both would be gone.
Now, one will still probably get in.
The loss, in effect, means nothing.
Don't tell me this new way is better.
Sudden death throughout the season meant something. It no longer does. When losses don't matter, the games mean less. It's really that simple.
