Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 5581843, member: 559"] There was a published report that they were going to go to four eight team pods next year following a traditional bracket structure. The CEO of the event came out this week and said he likes the reliance on point differential and would like it to be part of the structure though, one of the ideas being floated was to have the four pod winners play the next week in a championship round. That would require an NCAA waiver to allow those games to be considered part of a single MTE and allow that single event to expand to up to five games. The other issue would be how the teams would fill out there schedule in the event they do not advance out of their pod. Do you schedule games the following week or leave it open in hopes that you advance in Vegas? Whatever happens they need to incorporate some structure so strength of opponents is at least somewhat balanced. [/QUOTE]
