I'm not a fan. Its toooo much. The last 4 seeds would have to win 7 games to win the whole thing? Might as well just keep out entirely at that point. Meeting in the middle of this concept and the traditional tourney model would be interesting tho

Yea I am in favor of giving the higher seeds an advantage, but there has to be some common sense. Even in the American, the top 2 seeds get byes into the semis. Seems a bit extreme.

I like it .. these leagues want their best teams to make the dance ..

but they have to have a tourney for the money it makes them ..

this is a good result ..

Like it or hate it, that is exactly why they are doing it. To give their best teams the best shot at getting the auto-bid.

Some things need to change though. I read that Miami, Ohio, the only undefeated team left, probably won't get in and unless they win their conference tourney. That is insane to me. I don't care what their schedule looks like, if they were to slip up once in the conference tourney, that is a team that should get an at-large bid.

I don't know about that. Their schedule isn't just bad. It is absolutely atrocious -- among the worst in the country. I don't think the committee wants to get in the habit of rewarding that. There is no reason they couldn't have found a handful of good noncon opponents.

This is where WAB is a great metric -- it can sort through all the disparate schedules. They may get in if they lose late in their tourney. But if they don't, it won't be as big an injustice as some will suggest.

History does not support 2 teams from their conference. I heard when it was done last, but I cannot remember now. But I think it was 20+ years ago. They'd better win the tourney..

I understand that, I just don't care. If a team goes through the regular season undefeated, they should be Dancing.
