Just now on ESPN. I’m curious about the reaction to this by Alabama/Auburn folks

Auburn's being punished for a BBQ that happened in 2008. Alabama's being punished for a murder. Is what it is, just win.

They need to start taking away some of the west hosting locations and giving them to Atlanta/Nashville/Texas.

Three teams from Alabama traveling to Spokane fricking Washington for the first two rounds? Yeah, travel distance was a big deciding factor....

No, the problem is that every year we got them saying we did X because of X and then what they actually do contradicts it. They pull most of this shite out of their arse it seems.

I’m just talking about host locations. You can argue you got under seeded. But there are far too many good east coast teams compared to west coast and the hosting locations need to address that.

The Committee must be encouraging AU, UA, and UAB to share a ride out to Spokane to save travel costs rather than base their travel on mileage from home to nearest placement site. Curious how they ship AU and UAB as East Region teams as far as possible from the East Region to play their first round games. Great respect shown for the state of Alabama teams.
