I am not a fan of either team, and I think the process sucks.
While it is not practical to have 64 teams like basketball, 16 would be practical (and if you think 16 teams are going to go undefeated and be significantly the same... I want your medication)
Or... alternatively... when a tie like this occurs... play an extra game. The money involved would be immense and that way you really do get to see who is truly better.
