Selection Sunday

Not that the at large bids will affect us, but did y'all see the changes coming to the revealing show this year? No more region by region unvealing. At the very beginning of the show the at large bids will be announced in alphabetical order, after which they'll show the brackets/matchups/seedlings. Like everything else the show was hemorrhaging viewers so I guess they thought this would keep the most eyes for the entire show. Don't know.

I think it’s a horrendous idea. The show has been criticized for years for dragging out the process too long, so naturally they’ve decided to drag it out even further.

Alphabetical order? So.. When they get to the Mj's we'll know we didn't get in.

Social Media killed the dog and pony show. I can be on the golf course and find out if my team made it.

But it's not dragged out further.. everyone will know if their team made it within the first 15 minutes of the show. If you want matchups you can always come back and look that up later.. or keep watching if you want.. the old way, if you're in the last region that's revealed, you'd have to watch pretty much the whole show to know if you got in or not.

Yep. At least the last 2 years, the complete field has been leaked a few minutes into the show.
