That’s what the media does. The few brackets on Bracket Matrix that had us in were just a small sample size, something like 4 out of 100. There was never a good chance, I put it at like 15% and that was before some auto-bid steals. I probably would have had us at less than 5% heading into today and even that was probably too high.
The only people who were “duped” by the media were people who didn’t know anything about the process. I’m convinced that some of our local media don’t know much of anything either.
Actually, if you read Tim Miles' Twitter, he was all over the small sample favoring Nebraska.
Now, he's of course being the optimist. I get that. But there were a lot of people (fans, media, players, head coaches) buying into that.
I'm fine with you saying they don't know anything about the process, however. Idiots -- all of them.
