I was trying to prepare myself for some crazy regionals that made absolutely no sense, but you were right!

Agree, top 3 have good routes to get to the eight.

I was kinda surprised they didn't move any of the bottom 16 around a little based on geography.

I was thinking in previous years he had made some adjustments, but I'll be the first to admit I haven't really paid that much attention.

It's smart on his part though... especially considering the constant complaining about basketball playoffs. Just stick to numbers and people can't really say a whole lot.

Youre gonna get complaints either way. If you have the rankings, you might as well use them. They take the accusation of doing favors out of the equation and also limits how many people call up there and lobby for this or that.

No. No adjustments. In fact, after about two or three seasons, he got complaints that it was "too predictable."

That actually makes a lot of sense. Match up the top 16 based on rankings and the bottom 16 based on region. Or atleast the bottom 8. No need for them to have to make a crazy trip. But I’m sure it would just create a lot of arguments and this method is cut and dry. It does come with a significant financial burden though.

I'm certainly not dogging on Grant, because he has an impossible job, and he's exceptional at it. But, I also agree with moving the bottom 16 around a little.

For example:

Union City (19) is traveling to Rattan - 225 miles.
Drummond (20) is traveling to Wright City - 320 miles.
Porum (21) is traveling to Okarche - 175 miles.
Cameron (22) is traveling to AmPo - 230 miles.

Instead:
Union city to AmPo - 18 miles (-207)
Drummond to Okarche - 46 miles (274)
Porum to Rattan - 120 miles (-55)
Cameron to Wright City - 118 miles (-112)

Swap Allen (23 - going to Arapaho) and Binger-Oney (25 - going to Caddo). Now they're both driving an hour instead of over 3 hours.
