But I guess no one will be watching or listening huh?
CBS televises all 63 games of the tournament and paid 6 BILLION dollars over 11 years for the priviledge to do so. What were they thinking?[/quote]
You and Sylvan are completely missing the point.
It is apples and orages to compare the tourneyment to the 5 BCS games. <Even though BCS games on a pergame basis have much higher ratings.>
The BCS system lends itself to an important football season ... every game is important. Some of the big bb matchups this weekend are basically non factors. If Gonzaga actually won yesterday, it wouldn't matter. Both teams make the tourneyment so who cares?
When you compare the two, you have to compare the entire season from start to finish, and when you do that, it's not even close. If we put a big playoff system into football, it would look more like basketball, lots of interest in the end, but alot of mediocre games to wade through over months to get there.
I don't care what anyone says, I listen to hours and hours of game night, JT and the brick, Czaban, Doug Gottlieb and all the other national personalities every day, and NCAA BB IS an afterthought compared to NCAA FB.
