SportsHoopla's Most Storied Program Tournament - (10) Florida State vs (23) Ole Miss

[iowajerms]

Single choice and can change your vote as much as you want/need until deadline

In case of a tie, the higher seed advances. I'll do 2 of the first round matchups each week, then do a matchup a week after that. We'll see how it goes.

I know it is not the kind of story you are talking about, but here is the only real story I know about Florida State.

A guy with who I used to play darts did his undergraduate studies in engineering at FSU. He used to tailgate with the Physics Club. They always made liquid-nitrogen ice cream at the tailgates. (He was such a geek. Of course, that happens to be a compliment.) He also did his Master's Degree at Florida. Loved the 'Noles. Hated the Gators. Go figure.

Have to go with Florida St even though that story doesn't span across the same length of time, it's certainly got many more highlights.

FSU and it's probably not as close as it may seem

I didn't know it seemed close.

Not even close.

Here is what a loser's bracket would look like at this point. Let me know if you think we should complete this.

This is how the NCAA individual wrestling brackets worked

*A* = The loser between (Nebraska/LSU winner) and (Ohio State/Tennessee winner)
*B* = The loser between (Oklahoma/Washington winner) and (Texas/Miami winner)
*C* = The loser between (Michigan/TBD winner) and (Notre Dame/TBD winner)
*D* = The loser between (USC/TBD winner) and (Alabama/TBD winner)
*E* = The loser of the semifinals on bottom half of bracket
*F* = The loser of the semifinals on top half of bracket
*G* = The loser of "G" match goes for 7th place
*H* = the loser of "H" match goes for 5th place

I would say no loser bracket because basically its a bracket to determine the #1 Most Storied Program not #2. If a team loses in the 1st round I don't see them ending up winning it because they would play the same team they lost to in the finals maybe. Just my opinion. When are you going to put out the PSU Vs T A&M poll?

FSU and there is no doubt. Fewer years in existence, but MANY MORE accolades all around. This should be a rout of epic proportions.

Probably just pissed everyone off and they will change their votes.

You need to correct the the also.

What are the brackets anyway? Anyone have a link to the full set?

The bracket is in the OP. The consolation side of bracket (post #8) is a maybe. Seeing what people think.

And I took the top 24 from a Bleacher Report rankings of greatest programs of all time and used them as seeds. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/522165-power-ranking-the-top-50-college-football-programs-of-all-time/

I thought it would be lopsided, but given that FSU has only been around like half as long, I didn't think it would be THAT lopsided.
