I totally disagree. With only such few rounds to play and programs' strengths differ by only a hair breadth there should be an element of luck. I personally believe the entire tournament has few merits in gauging each program's strengths but rather more important is the commercial value it poses. I think we have to play hundreds and hundreds of games between each of these programs before we can say which is stronger than the other and even after such marathons it is likely that we still won't be able to come up with a viable result. Again, with a seven round tournament, 3 down and 4 to go, the wheel of fortune is a major factor.
