For the first time ever, all four top seeds made it to the Final Four.  The only plus to this in my opinion is that it should shut up everybody who claims the current tournament system does not reward the best regular season teams.  That is because the four teams remaining were without a doubt the best four teams during this year's college basketball season.  Outside of Kansas who had an epic tussle with Davidson in the Elite Eight, they all romped their way into this Final Four with convincing wins in the Regional Finals and Semifinals.  We have four bluebloods attending this event as UCLA, North Carolina, Kansas and Memphis represent the college basketball elite.  Without further ado, let's breakdown the matchups.

With every game, and every "championship", the system in place in college football (BCS) becomes clearer that it needs to be fixed. The easy solution is a playoff. But even that can't reach a consensus agreement. How would we decide is in the playoff? Would it be 64 teams like in college basketball? Wouldn't some teams still get the shaft? And would ALL the conferences agree (Big 10)? Not everyone can be satisfied, but he is THE plan. The plan to end all the questions and controversy surrounding the game today.

It's a shortened week, so therefore a shortened IUD. It's also the end of the regular season. I'm crying already...
