[edit] "Although analysts’ initial reactions to the concept were skeptical, the first game, played on March 13, 2001, was a success, and few complaints have been heard since."
The article itself contradicts that statement by noting the HBCU controversy below. And, anyone who pays attention to the sports media, whether ESPN or blogs, can see that the play-in game is routinely and universally mocked as a pointless cash grab every year. I don't know what the best citation for a new writeup of how sports fans view the play-in would be, so I can't change it myself, but it should be changed.

[edit] Redirect?
Is there a reason "play-in game" redirects here? Shouldn't it go to a page discussing what a play-in game is? Smartyllama (talk) 20:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
and shouldn't the title be changed since it is offically called Opening Round game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.91.95.83 (talk) 21:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
The BS at the end should probably be eliminated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.207.124.106 (talk) 03:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
