Bracket Match-ups

[hasbeen7]

May be a stupid question, but any idea of the strategy/process behind making the brackets especially in AA and AAA.? May not be a big deal, but there sure seems to be a "lack of balance" between the upper and lower brackets in these 2 divisions?

Oh, I guess I just thought that it seemed unbalanced?? Why not just combine all the divisions and throw the thing up in the air?

I agree they both are out of balance. According to the TBCA rankings released yesterday, #1, #2 and #3 in AA are in the same bracket and in AAA you have the #2 and #3 matched up in a first round game. According to an article I read about Oakland advancing, it said they were slotted with a "blind draw". I guess the NCAA selection Committee has been doing it wrong all these years by seeding the basketball tournament. They should have just been drawing them out of a hat.

 

I've seen a lot of people talk about how great the AA Championship game was last year between USJ and Goodpasture. Thanks to the clowns at the TSSAA, there can not be a rematch for the title.

 

Once again, the TSSAA proves they are run by a bunch of morons.

I just love how it has worked out. Oakland at home and Farragut against the weaker of the teams. I hope Arlington can surprise some people.........I am pulling for them. They are well coached and have played a pretty tough schedule

Those rankings don't mean squat. All that matters is what the teams do game by game in the tournament.

Agreed, but why not have the brackets a little more equal? Why have most of the better teams in one bracket?
