Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4610471, member: 1969"] How many sports have had re-seeding? I seem to remember hockey had it for a while before their current format. Did the NBA have it for a while? Anyway, I'm not in favour of it at the NCAA tournament. Under a re-seeding it would be; #4 Tennessee vs #16 FDU #5 Duke vs #9 FAU My 4 comments would be: #1 FDU made the tournament fair and square. They just beat the #1 seed -- why should they not be rewarded by it? #2 Why should a #4 seed in Tennessee get to face a #16 seed in round 2, while other 4 seeds are facing #5 seeds or #12 seeds? What did they do to earn that advantage compared to other 4 seeds. #3. Why is the NCAA messing with changing the bracket when its what brings in the interest of so many casual fans? #4. For $$ reasons, I don't think the NCAA has any desire to change the pod system which it would need to do. [/QUOTE]
