FCS playoff pairings announced - commenters erupt

That would be Division 1-AA for most of us, still.

One of the “advantages” shills for the BCS like to point out in the wizard-behind-the-curtain nature of the BCS rankings process is that the resulting controversy of this entirely opaque process means that “everybody is talking about it” and “it generates a ‘buzz’”.

But do you know what else generates a buzz? Drinking malt liquor through a straw – and like the BCS-induced high, we don’t recommend it for minors, pregnant women or while operating heavy machinery… or anybody else, for that matter.

And by this logic, then, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the most perfect playoff system on the planet is a complete dud… because no one talks about it. No one takes off work on the first-round Thursdays and Fridays, no one goes to Vegas during the tournament, company computer servers don’t overload or even crash because no one is streaming live video over the ‘net during working hours and mostly, NO ONE ever participates in the, technically illegal, tournament office pools.

Seriously, what is this March Madness you speak of?

Anyway, the matchups can be found here at AOL Fanhouse accompanyed by vigorous commenting by disgruntled fans.
