1. College Basketball Supports Regular Season Mediocrity; College Football Does Not
For anybody that thinks the College Football Playoff should ever be expanded, take a look at the atrocity of the NCAA Tournament.
The sport has expanded to 68 teams, and coaches still complain about their team being left out of the NCAA Tournament. This Bubble Watch and the hype behind it has made the regular season in college basketball darn near meaningless.
Who, among teams that have a realistic shot at winning the national championship, has any game that matters from now until the end of the year? None of them. Kentucky should simply rest its starters. What does it need to go undefeated for?
That is the biggest thing that makes this sport a complete joke. In college football, one loss could knock you out of a chance for a championship. You actually have to show up every game and play football.
In college basketball, there is nothing wrong with taking nights off all year until a three-week sprint that we call March Madness. The whole marathon actually matters in college football.
In college basketball, we give teams that are not in the Top 100 a chance to play for the national championship. What a joke!
