I can argue it wasn't the best game in college history, maybe top 20. Had a top 5 finish though. Why would it have meant less? Because you can come up with a bunch of hypotheticals that can ruin a team in a 4 team playoff? Those same hypotheticals apply to the last two weeks of the season. What if Winston gets injured in the first quarter of Duke and they lose? What if bad weather causes Ohio St to lose to Michigan St? No one is going to be benching players because they are sure things. Losses are still going to knock you out especially if you get beat big. Will there be controversy? I am sure, but most seasons likely less than there is now. It won't ever approach College Basketball level as at the most we will only have 8 teams in the playoffs out of 120. Getting a spot will be very difficult and hopefully if they move to 8 it will include Byes for top 2 seeds for teams to play for.
