Don't feel all that good about Ole Miss beating UGA but I do believe Bama can give Indiana a game... I hope anyway.

I hope you didn't buy a lottery ticket today. :)

Seriously, the teams with byes are now 1-7. I would never have guessed that.

Looking back I actually had my money on Indiana, was just hoping Bama would keep up the trend. Now I did lose with my UGA pick. So far it's been a pretty good year.
First round- 3
Byes-1

That 7-1 thing... yeah if it were me, I'd be shooting for that coveted 5 seed every year.

I’d love to see it go to 16 and get rid of byes. College kids don’t seem to be able to bounce back from a layoff. Sure IU did, but that game was a total mis-match

Hilarious. I`ve been against byes since when they were first discussed. I felt like - and still do - that they were unfair. What I got wrong is that they seem unfair to the teams that get the bye!. 1-7 love it!! But agree still get rid of them and expand to 16 teams. Maybe some of the prominent coaches will advocate to get rid of them as the statistics seem pretty clear that the layoff does more harm than good to the bye teams. Actually maybe that`s why they call them "bye"!
