Confusing and previously unknown? Am I missing something? What is different with the Old Spice bracket when compared to every other bracket in the history of brackets?

People who are football fans (admittedly like myself) didn't even see the bracket until today. I was listening to the radio guys Wednesday, and THEY couldn't even keep it straight. And they are professionals. Pre-season tournaments while football season is still going on are an 'also-ran'.

I can see that, but the poster seemed to not understand that losing in a tournament game meant you could no longer compete to win the thing. That seems like something most understand, even if they aren't sure who is playing whom.

They post "frick" a lot.

Hate their own players less- but hate the refs more.

I guess that's what being a football school and benefiting from the awful BCS system does to a person.

Holy cow! Those are some dumb comments.....

I think one of the lower than NIT tournaments (CBI/CBT?) has a best two-out-of-three championship format.

The board moderator has set the board up so that every time someone types f*ck, it automatically changes it to frick.

Makes it easier on the mods.

What's there to be confused about, they are set up just like fantasy football playoffs.

I have never, nor will ever, played FF.

Sorry, did not realize you were too exceptional to participate in the base entertainment meant for the masses. Carry on, oh Awesome One and feel free to continued to be confused by simple brackets the dredges of society figure out by the time they are twelve.
