If you are wondering what the BCS sham championship should look like if things were fair, according to the T-3000 there should be four teams still alive: Alabama, TCU, Florida and Texas. Even if you believe in the BCS, this ranking generally matches 1 and 2. The only way I think it won't match is if Florida beats Alabama and Nebraska beats Texas. Under that scenario, the T-3000 deems Florida and Alabama 1 and 2, which will never fucking happen in real life. TCU would get in if Alabama beats Florida and Nebraska beats Texas.

But we don't have to worry about any of this garbage, because we have a tournament! Actually, we have a Get Together (Brought to you by KY). And the bracket will be revealed sometime between Sunday and the middle of next week, whenever I get around to posting the T-3000 results.
