Selection Show Open Thread
Happy Selection Sunday everyone! Sadly, it's not a great year for this holiday in sports due to this sleepy show...I thought it was still gonna be bad, but it would be better than I expected. Now that I'm seeing this format, there is clearly nothing they have up their sleeve! Way to make a boring show astronomically more boring CBS! They literally sucked all of the remaining excitement out of this show.
It's on TBS as controversially discussed, as well as the CBS Sports App and probably the March Madness App.

we didn't finish the season 4 and 11 like Oklahoma.
[and we know that teams sometimes upset teams with better seeds]
I agree Perkis. How do you lose 11 of your last 14 regular season games and get in. Then again Arizona State lost 8 of their last 11 conference games and still got in too. I think both of them being ranked #1 early on helped them both get in. Either way it's a travesty that they are in and 27-5 St. Mary's, who was in the AP top 25 all season got snubbed.
Took 15 minutes to tell us what usually takes 2 minutes to reveal. Probably won't see the brackets until Tuesday at this rate. I found out that Ohio State, Sparty and Purdue made the tournament!
I WANT A LEAK! I WANT A LEAK!

Wow way to just throw the first four in and out up there without any hype.
It's like they don't even want people to watch their show.
They already announced every team that had made the tournament prior to highlighting the first four in and out--they just hadn't announced seeding yet.
Clark Kellog is the black Billy Packer. Dumb, says stupid things and didn't have a pot to piss in for his college career.
Lol the team left the watch party. Even they hate the new format.
come on already
and easy path to the sweet 16 IMO
really...
St. Mary's played no one and didn't even try to schedule anyone knowing their conference sucks. They had the win against Gonzaga and that was it. They put all of their eggs in the basket that had them beating Gonzaga and BYU, when you only go 3-2 against them, you have to pretty much win everything else, and they had 3 BAD losses on top of it. They did not deserve to play in this tournament. Very pleased that the committee agreed.
... USC was not even in the "last four in" in either Lunardi's bracket or Bracketmatrix. That was a head-scratcher. Apparently being the ninth-best team in the ACC is better than being (arguably) the third-best team in the Pac-12 this year.
... the committee chair just mentioned that ND was the last team knocked out by Davidson, which, first "LOL," but secondly, Syracuse and ND have a better resume than USC?
... Texas Tech getting a 3--not so much.
instead of Purdue, oh well.
Damn it.
I hate this show.
And I used to like it, this year killed it.
it had better be Auburn that dropped to a #4 seed...
MSU to a #4 would be fine, too...
Alabama in with 15 losses is kind of dumb.
