Love the exercise, hate the outcome...
This is the time of year that the blue bloods are all at their best. We'll see. I'm kind of pulling for Arizona State. But I think ASU is ranked as it is primarily because of what it was at the end of the year last year, not because of any real deep dive into what its team is like now.
Unfortunately, the random bounce, quirky, well-timed play, and indescribable disasters that used to play an outsized role in how we determined national champions are probably permanently thrown in the dustbin of history. It probably will be the blue bloods who routinely make the final few games of the playoffs going forward.
