Message: [QUOTE="73CAV, post: 3501929, member: 3916"] If people imagine this would make the regular season "inconsequential", then, logically, the NCAA should return to the days when only conference champions and independents received bids. And, as has been noted elsewhere on this thread, much of the season in the current format, WRT P6 teams, is merely jockeying for seeding. The NCAA is a single elimination tournament. Including everyone does not make the regular season inconsequential as the issue of seeding remains a significant one. It does add two plus rounds to the event (one weekend plus the play-in games) which would only serve to make March Madness more mad, IMO. Also, as someone who rarely missed a Virginia home game back in the 70s when bids were more scarce (and unlikely), I can say each and every one was significant to me. I like the idea. [/QUOTE]
