What I would like to see happen in Omaha is for them to have a consolation bracket for exact finish. We always see teams finish tied for 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Have the two 0-2 teams play for 7th/8th place. Have the two 1-2 teams play for 5th/6th place. And have the two semifinals losers play for 3rd/4th place. If there is one thing in sports I loathe, it is draws/ties. One of the reasons I have never been all-in with soccer and by far my biggest gripe with the NFL regular season, although ties are much less frequent. I love watching a great match but I cannot stand whenever I just watched 2-3 hours of a sporting event and neither team wins. Could you imagine MLB with ties? It would be insane. Draws should be eradicated from every sports rule book and a winner/loser needs to be declared. “Oh did you see that game last night, it was fantastic! No, who won? Nobody, they tied…but it was just the best!”
