Syracuse-OSU

On Saturday, Syracuse plays Ohio State. I will be rooting for Syracuse, of course.

But this game made we wonder whether it's better to have two teams you like play each other in the Elite Eight, thereby guaranteeing that one of your teams will make it to the Final Four... or whether it's better to have them in separate games, in which case both could make it to the Final Four, but also neither of them might make it.

Right now I think I like the security of the first option. It means I'm guaranteed to have a fan's interest in the final weekend of games.
