I don't think anyone's objecting to #1 Kansas getting a de facto home game. They earned it. What is concerning is that the #17 RPI team gets slotted as an eight seed and has to play a road game on the opening weekend, as if they didn't just play for the ACC title and go undefeated against everybody but two seeds since January against an ACC schedule. I'm perfectly aware that most ABC'ers are going to call that whining, but to me, it's third grade math. You can't divide 17 by 4 and get 8. Or even 7. Or even 6. You barely get to 5.
If this is the part where we pretend that the NCAA isn't trying to sell a storyline during primetime on Sunday night (b/c we sincerely believe that they just happen to be a humble, nonprofit educational co-op with a multibillion dollar entertainment deal, and this plotline-in-a-jar is just the happy little coincidence they tried to hustle), fine. If you say so, but again, math.
I'm also okay with people saying "Screw reason, bad for UNC = good for me". Hey, I get it. I've done very similar things in the past, and pledge to do them in the near future at the first opportunity.
