Tournament Snub for the SVPSteezy

So BustedCoverage.com has come out with a bracket-styled tournament to determine the best sports blog of 2007. A December Madness if you will, with the top 64 sports blogs on the Internet competing for the prize of your clicks.

Problem is, the SVPSteezy didn’t get a seed. Not even close to making the play-in game, which is especially upsetting for me because as a graduate of a MEAC school, we try damn hard just to make that play-in game.

The rankings for this tournament were created using Ballhype.com rankings, which factors in amount of links other pages have to your page, number of articles uploaded, hype that you get from other readers, etc. I’m currently ranked 97 on the list, and out of the thousands and thousands of bloggers in the world, that ain’t too bad.

Fair is fair and there’s really no solid way to qualify bloggers for this kind of thing other than a quantitative system of pre-existing rankings. To that end, I will be sticking with the hometown blog squads of Steinz and the Mottrams to survive and advance. I will be tracking their progress throughout the tournament, much like the Gus Johnson of DC-Baltimore sports blogging.

Rise and fire, baby.
