You still have the same chance of winning anything over the course of the tournament. That hasn't changed.I’m not complaining.
I have 8 (winning) and 1 (losing). So the closest possible spread that could be a winner for me is 7 points. That wouldn’t really be a close game by NCAAT standards. Hypothetically, I could root for 78-61 or 68-61 but not 71-68.
Under the old format, all three options would be in play. So a close win, ‘medium’ win, and big win were all in play, it was just a matter of which seed did which. The new way takes one of the possibilities away.
