The Road to the Final Four

I know as much about college basketball as I know about humans and dogs, which is to say nothing. Why do they brand this tournament with that "Road to the Final Four" crap? I can think of no other sport that places such importance on merely making an appearance in the semi-final game, as if that were the primary goal of the participants. The NFL doesn't market their season as the "road to playing in the conference championship game". Do they? Nor does Major League Baseball entice us to watch the "road to the league championship series". And, last I checked, Microsoft wasn't saying anything close to "Try our tasty software burgers"
