Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4034605, member: 874"] Including all conference champions would be fine. There are 11 conferences, so you still get 5 at larges. The scrub conferences get to say they got stomped by an elite in the first round. The high seeds are rewarded for a successful season by having an easy first round game. It'd be just like the first round of the basketball tournament which is the funnest 4 days in sports (and sports are supposed to be about fun). A fluke loss by a contender in their conference championship game is covered by the 5 at larges. So, you include all the contenders, schools we never see get 15 seconds of glory as we watch then get stomped, and we still get to debate which at large contenders got screwed by the selection committee.
