Before unveiling the March Madness bracket, this year’s two-hour Selection Sunday show will first unveil the teams in alphabetical order, I guess to avoid stringing along the players and coaches on bubble teams? That’d be nice of Turner, since the TV drama is based around actual humans with actual things at stake. And/or it’s just a way to stretch out the reveal.
Either way, it’s going to make for a silly show.
However! This is college sports. We need to go sillier.
- Reveal only mascots. Congrats to all Bulldogs, Eagles, Tigers, and Wildcats.
- A map with a gray dot for each team. Congrats to UCLA or USC or both.
- NBA-style lottery. Congrats to Pitt.
