I just reposted the teams that I would not mind seeing win the title.   That was evident from the post when I said "any of these".

What is it about what I have said that you don't understand?  

I listed various teams, and said:  "Sure,  why not.  Any of these."   

And I deleted the teams I don't want to win.  

I mean, OK, maybe that was  a subtle way of saying "Fuck the Blue Bloods"....but do you always have to be beat over the head with something to comprehend it?

Yes sports and almost everything else is in uncharted waters until all of this blows over.

I'm watching the markets on CNBC  now, the closest thing to contact sports going on for the present time.

• Elite 8 — Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29, 2020
• Final Four — Saturday, April 4, 2020.

Well then.....with no  Tournament,   a National Championship can still be declared the old Fashioned way  (the way they did in football for most of its history).......via   a Poll.       There is nothing prohibiting them from declaring a National Champ, is there?  Here is the last   AP  poll, and maybe this is it:

1     Kansas (63)	28-3	1,623	1
2	Gonzaga (1)	31-2	1,547	2
3	Dayton (1)	29-2	1,505	3
4	Florida State	26-5	1,381	4
5	Baylor	26-4	1,337	5
6	San Diego State	30-2	1,279	6
7	Creighton	24-7	1,154	7
8	Kentucky	25-6	1,118	8
9	Michigan State	22-9	1,023	9
10	Villanova	24-7	1,011	11
11	Duke	25-6	990	10
12	Maryland	24-7	924	12
13	Oregon	24-7	892	13
14	Louisville	24-7	768	15
15	Seton Hall	21-9	727	16
16	Virginia	23-7	586	17
17	Wisconsin	21-10	539	18
18	BYU	24-8	537	14
19	Ohio State	21-10	459	19
20	Auburn	25-6	453	20
21	Illinois	21-10	263	21
22	Houston	23-8	179	22
23	Butler	22-9	165	24
24	West Virginia	21-10	159	22
25	Iowa	20-11	109	25

So, Kansas would be champ.

This might have been a big longshot and underdog year sure Kansas is a blue blood but some interesting names in the top 10 and beyond.

Zags who always chokes, UD Dayton, SDST and even Ohio State in the top 20.

Oh well we'll never know for sure.........
