(4)Kentucky pulls of the "upset" against (2)UNC even though latest betting lines via Betus.com had Kentucky as a favorite to win. Even still, the win by Kentucky created a first for the Final Four of the tournament. This year will mark the first time there are no No.1 or No.2 seeds in the Final Four. More details on this unique Final Four in this article written by Jeff Eisenberg.
This is the sort of stuff that the anti-BCS crowd looks for in college football. The Cinderella team making a run at the National Championship. A playoff system would give more hope to the likes of Boise St, TCU, Utah and other smaller conference teams to winning the championship. But is this also a reason to not have a playoff system in college football? I mean how many tickets could teams in the smaller conferences sell to road playoff games compared to the big time teams such as USC, Ohio St, Alabama, LSU, etc.? And could those smaller conference teams sell out their respective share of tickets to road playoff games multiple times per post season should they win? These are probably reasons we won't see a playoff in college football anytime soon, but it sure would be fun to watch a playoff run by any team in major college football.
