Message: [QUOTE="Shark58, post: 2121356, member: 4746"] I'd prefer to go back to a clean 64 but there would be a good way to expand, slightly. one of the best things about March Madness is that just about everybody in this country lives within a few miles from a school that has a chance to play in the big dance, even if most of those schools have no chance of actually winning. go to 72 with all the #1 & 2 seeds getting a 1st round bye. all conf tourney champs & reg season champs get in (I like the earlier suggestion of same team wins both, only 1 league bid/only 1 reg season winner allowed). the majority of the expanded dance list would be mid-majors, which is a good thing. seed all teams 1-19 per bracket. let the 16 vs 19 and 17/18 matchups determine who plays the 1 and 2. forget the 2 11 seeds playing a "play in" game. let the 16 littlest guys play games they have a chance of winning.
