Can we just nuke the whole they didn't beat anyone nonsense people do with mid majors now?
(yes I realize they won 3 coinflips to get here but that's the point isn't it?, they were a flip vs a 3 seed, a 7 and a 6)
At large big conference teams with low seeds are also doing well too (FSU, KSU). I don't have a real issue with the current system. This is a business and big schools buy more tickets. Unless at large mid majors start buying tickets in droves when they make it far, I bet this trend continues where they restrict the # of lesser conference teams to mostly the conference title game winners.
