We're talking about those eight teams in the bottom right-hand bracket. Why, what did you think we meant?

Oh, you mean the fact that one bracket has the No. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 teams in the country in it? If only it had No. 1 and No. 2, it would be a men's basketball bracket.

Yes, truth be told, it could be worse. That's why we're not calling it a Bracket of Death. But it's a great bracket, with four games between teams that all have a legitimate chance of winning first-round games.

Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman break it down in this week's Around the Nation podcast.

Meanwhile, what does the selection of Washington and Jefferson mean for future NCAA playoffs? What message does it send to coaches who want to schedule to help their teams get into the tournament?

It's fair to say Keith and Pat are more than a little concerned.

Also, you can hear a full interview with the NCAA committee chair, as Joy Solomen talks about the selections and the Pool C pick we're all talking about. That interview is excerpted in the Around the Nation Podcast as well, but the full interview contains more insight into the brackets.

Nearly 20 years after returning the King's football program to varsity status after a 30-year hiatus, coach Rich Mannello announced his resignation on Monday.

In his 17 varsity seasons at King's, Mannello posted an overall 70-104-1 mark. During his first seven seasons building the program King's went 17-51-1. Since 2000, he logged a 53-53 coaching ledger, including five post-season appearances and one MAC title. Mannello was 1-1 in NCAA national playoff games and 2-2 in ECAC bowl contests.
 
Mannello has produced 96 All-Middle Atlantic Conference selections with the 2009 team yet to be announced. He has also coached seven D3football.com All-Americans.  In 2000, all-American tailback Damon Saxon led the nation in rushing with 1,744 yards. In 2002, two-time all-American defensive end Steven Wilson was D3football.com's consensus top defensive player of the year 
 
The education of his players was also of great significance to Mannello, whose teams also made their mark in the classroom. A total of 151 of his players were named to MAC All-Academic teams for posting overall grade-point averages of 3.20 or better.

“I would like to thank all of the players, coaches, friends and family members that have been a part of our football family over the past 19 years,” said Mannello, who informed his players of the decision during a Monday team meeting. “Our No. 1 goal has always been to build relationships that will last a lifetime. This goal was achieved with a tremendous amount of pride and appreciation for all of those that shared in our dream. I would also like to thank my wife Bonny, my stepson Jake, and my son Stone for their unconditional love and support in allowing me to pursue my own dreams in this great game of football.”
 
Mannello was hired by King's in January, 1990 after the college announced it would reinstate varsity football after the sport had been discontinued following the 1963 season. He hired current associate head coach Jim Anderson as his top assistant and the pair began recruiting and assembling a coaching staff before the Monarchs embarked on two junior varsity seasons in 1991 and 1992 in preparation for entrance into the MAC. 
 
In 1993, King's played its first varsity game in 30 years, falling to Albright 30-12. The Monarchs would finish the season 1-9 with a week-seven 20-18 home victory over Juniata standing as Mannello's first career head coaching victory.
 
Mannello's program broke through in 2000 when the Monarchs posted a 7-4 mark, won its first-ever Mayor's Cup with a 20-0 victory over cross-town rival Wilkes, and defeated Ursinus 45-20 to capture the Eastern College Athletic Conference Southern Region Bowl, registering the first post-season title of any kind in King's varsity football history. Mannello was rewarded that year with MAC “Coach of the Year” honors.
 
In 2001, Mannello guided the Monarchs to an 8-3 record and an ECAC Southeast Region Bowl with a 32-29 victory over Muhlenberg. 
 
A year later, the 2002 season proved to be the best in King's history as Mannello's charges went 9-3, won the Middle Atlantic Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III national playoffs for the first-time ever. There, King's won it's NCAA tournament debut with a 28-0 victory over Salisbury. The Monarchs would advance to the “Sweet 16” where it lost to a heavily favored Bridgewater (Va.) College squad 19-17 when a last-second King's field goal fell inches short. Mannello again received MAC Coach of the Year laurels at the conclusion of the season.

Anderson will take over as interim coach during the search process and will be invited to apply for the position, should he wish to pursue the head coaching job at King's.
