    I'm ready for the annual showdown between Matthew and Ken Pom in the first round of the NCAA.

    Well I was way off on my brackets. I'll have to work on my methodology and see if I can do better next year. I completely missed some of the conference tournament games somehow, but that's what happens when you are trying to do bracketology and entertain your five year old at the same time. My excuse.

    I do believe though it hurts the OVC to play their tournament the week before. If they had played their championship game either Saturday or Sunday I think it would have given Murray State a better shot.

    First, the committee meetings should be open and televised on ESPN News.

    Second, the committee should have to release its 1-68 rankings before any of the conference tournaments start. Then, every time there's a wrong winner outside the top 68 that wins a conference tournament, the bottom team in the rankings be eliminated from the NCAA tournament.

    Third, we should go to a blind draw on the bracket.
