    Past NCAA Playoff Comments / Complaints
    Answer
    1) My "more-deserving" team was screwed because we play in the toughest conferenceLive with it or join the NE or the MASCAC or Go Independent
    2) The defacto NCAA 1st round is actually the individual conference tournamentsIf your team can't win theirs, they don't belong in the dance
    3) The play-in round games actually count as an NCAA playoff gameJust because your team is unlucky enough to have to participate doesn't mean it wasn't part of the tourney (even if the T-shirts have omitted those teams in the past)
    4) Pool bids will be awarded based on flawed criteriaSuck it up, and live with them
    5) Money and a geographic bias toward wherever the tournament is being held will determine seeding, not team performanceLive with it
    6) The final four will be out West every three yearsSave for it
    7) The NE auto-bid is still a jokeLive with it edit: The jury is still out
    8) Whoever draws the NE team will "have a cake-walk"Envy it or edit:"Talk to Geneseo about '06"
    9) The officiating will be atrocious and "cost us the game"Live with it or strap 'em on and become an official
    10) If [fill in the blank] hadn't lost their league championship game, my team would've gotten a bid Just freakin' win your conference tourney
    11) St Louis, O'Doyle, Tisi, O'Brien, Petrus, Baldwin, Wisnowski, Ellis, Everett, Murphy and the Panek twins are the absolute worst referees everThey'll retire someday
    12) D3 should have a 16 team tourney like D1Donate the money to allow your team to follow RIT, Canisius, Mercyhurst to D1
    13) Eastern bias!!Come on over
    14) SNC stands for 'reliShing inNaugural hampionship' Don't recall what the former saying was.
    15) Ma'ville players are a bunch of thugsJust beat 'em
    16) The NCAA and USCHO polls contradict!The USCHO poll should have a disclaimer. edit: "These data are purely subjective, and are not indicative of past, present or future reality, and have absolutely no bearing on the NCAA poll nor are they arbitrary enough to meet the needs of the NCAA Championship Selection Committee."
    17) "Congradulations" on Middlebury's '04 banner was intentionally spelled that wayGive it a rest already, would ya?
    18) To break selection and/or seeding deadlocks, the NCAA will invoke the little known "team with the fan base most willing to travel" criterionI'd suggest following your team a bit more ardently
    19 [Nameless Team] had a higher seed, and should have been able to host an NCAA game ... even though they didn't apply to hostJust submit the freakin' paperwork
    20) It's not fair that [insert team] had to drive nearly 500 miles for a play-in game Play better during the regular season
    21) [Fill in the Blank] was 26-3, and still didn't get a bida) Join a conference with an autobid b) Play tougher non-league games c) Pay off the selection committee to include teams you've beaten in the rankings d) Quit the darn whining
    22) Could Amherst have gotten any more screwed?? They easily won their league and are no-doubt one of the best teams in the country (and therefore probably shouldn't even be in a play-in game), but furthermore, how are they then forced to play the 3 seed?? Is the committee a bunch of idiots?The answer may be yes, but please wait until the official seedings are out before throwing a fit.
    23) Get rid of the idiotic rule that out of region games don't count in the rankings. You played the game. It should count towards your season in every way possible.IIRC - Out of region games were not included to discourage teams from making long trips and giving schools with fewer resources a more even playing surface

    Really? I thought it was not to penalize teams that made the effort to travel to play a (big) game and then lost. (or was that answer TIC )
