Hey, Christmas tournaments!
Global Sports Classic
Dec 21-22
4 teams in your standard format
The matchups:
Grand Canyon vs. Houston
Marshall vs. Wyoming
The stakes: Not much to see here. Houston could help the AAC a bit, though.
Las Vegas Classic
Dec 22-23
4 teams in your standard format
The matchups:
Kent St vs. SMU
Colorado vs. Penn St
The stakes: Well, none for SMU. Is Kent the best team in the MAC? That conference feels wide open. Colorado really needs to beat Penn St and give themselves a quality win chance against SMU.
Diamond Head Classc
Dec 22, 23, 25
8 teams in your standard format
The matchups:
Auburn vs. New Mexico
BYU vs. Harvard
Oklahoma vs. Washington St
Northern Iowa at Hawaii
The stakes: Oklahoma looks pretty clearly the best team here, but all of a sudden a OU/UNI semifinal looks like the best game here. It's not make-or-break for UNI since they just binked one against Iowa St, though. So the stakes aren't as high here. On the other end of the bracket, 2 teams are going nowhere (Auburn and Harvard) and New Mexico is teetering. BYU is kinda forced into a situation where they need to win twice.
