After a season full of play I don't like a conference "champion" being named because a team got hot for a few games.<br /><br />I'm all about USC and the Pac-10. I'm probably in the ridiculously small minority that still enjoys and lives for conference competition.<br /><br />The expansion is fine by me. I actually think it makes it even less about the best team and more about the spectacle. The top 32 teams won't be at any more risk and won't even play another game. <br /><br />I do wonder if the regional 15 vs 19 game in the new first round will really be that much of a money-maker. I assume it will still be profitable for Vegas and the NCAA.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978284603123219734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-74353036352183304762010-04-02T16:25:33.818-04:002010-04-02T16:25:33.818-04:00You're so right, Dan.
