Drew a 16.8 overnight rating...9% increase from last year and appears to be the second highest viewership ever.
I didn’t watch because I was just not interested. It’s like watching same cast of characters year after year. In 7 years, there has only been 10 different teams to participate in it. It’s boring. The worst post season of any team sport professional or collegiate. I will start watching when it expands, and I really don’t think 8 teams would make it any better. It probably needs 16 or 24 teams to eliminate all the disputes and keep players from opting out. The players want to compete, if it means something. It needs to expand.
Percentage of teams that make the playoffs
FCS 24 of 127 teams = 18.9%
NCAA basketball 68 of 350 teams = 19.43%
NCAA baseball 64 of 297 teams = 21.55%
(The most underrated postseason IMO)
MLB - 8 of 30 teams = 26.66%
NFL - 14 of 32 teams = 43.75%
NHL - 16 of 31 teams = 51.61%
And the FBS?
FBS 4 of 130 teams = 3.08%. <<<What’s that? Garbage!!
