If you could root for the Crimson Tide; that'd be great...
Why does #1 play number #4 and then #2 plays #3? Seems screwy to me...

That's how tournament seedings work in all sports at all levels of play.
It seems Radar has remembered my knack for causing teams to lose simply by cheering for them. It will be my pleasure to doom those fellers from east of the Mississippi.

It is because the best team #1 should play the lower of the four teams #4 because the #1 team earned that right
Sorry, Radar, I didn't get in until late so I wasn't able to give it the attention needed to successfully doom a team. We were working today.
There'll be no yankee teams playing in the championship game. The year is off to a great start already.
Woody Hayes soured me on Ohio State 40 years ago. The only reason for me to cheer for them is that dooms a team.

Yea your right.
Bama has two kids from
North Jersey who start in the secondary. Avenet and Fitzpatrick. Both had very good games last night. The WR Dieter who had some nice catches is a Yankee too and of course the head coach....

West Virginia is a southern state.
Not really. That's why it's not still part of Virginia. It ended up being largely like Kentucky and Missouri with large contingents on both sides.

Mr H.Cow is correct here. WV was Union. Unless you want to
Rewrite more history.
From Wikipedia:
Unionists in South and Border states
Confederate soldiers hanging pro-Union bridge-burning conspirators
People loyal to the U.S. federal government and opposed to secession living in the border states (where slavery was legal in 1861) were termed Unionists. Confederates sometimes styled them "Homemade Yankees". However, Southern Unionists were not necessarily northern sympathizers and many of them, although opposing secession, supported the Confederacy once it was a fact. East Tennessee never supported the Confederacy, and Unionists there became powerful state leaders, including governors Andrew Johnson and William G. Brownlow. Likewise, large pockets of eastern Kentucky were Unionist and helped keep the state from seceding.[90] Western Virginia, with few slaves and some industry, was so strongly Unionist that it broke away and formed the new state of West Virginia.[91]
Still, nearly 120,000 Unionists from the South served in the Union Army during the Civil War and Unionist regiments were raised from every Confederate state except South Carolina. Among such units was the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment, which served as William Shermans personal escort on his march to the sea. Southern Unionists were extensively used as anti-guerrilla paramilitary forces.[92] During Reconstruction many of these Unionists became "Scalawags", a derogatory term for Southern supporters of the Republican Party.[93]
