Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3784805, member: 1969"] I don't have the stats for it, but I am thinking the 5 or 6 seed teams that have had to face the play-in winner in recent years have a worse record than the other 5 or 6 seed teams. Seems those 11/12 seeds that win the play in game have momentum on their side and are playing well. Well not Drake though. Would it make more sense to drop those play in games to be fighting for a "9" seed. I suppose it could be viewed as unfair for the teams that are marked as the 8 seeds, but they already know they are getting jobbed by being put in that spot. It would also result in less "at-large" teams getting put into the dreaded 8-9 spots. [/QUOTE]
