I know people have allot of views on the March tournament. I want to know what do you people think of of forcing the play-in games to be amongst the non automatic quantifiers?(Any conference tournament champ is guaranteed at least a 15 seed. All #16 seeds will be in through the play in games. They could have a fluctuating play in game that basically is as follows:

Average out the two opponents RPI and place the play in game to which they would rank the play in game for. (if one would be a #7 seed while the opponent would be #13 then the play in game would be for the #10 position.)

Add lower division games to RPI.(Division 2,3 and Naia.) (divide the wighted win percentage by half and increase the loss weight by half.) In this way there is is some addition to playing lower divisions but a huge blow if you lose. This will help teams to try and get a better schedule even if it's a 2 for 1 games.(Florida getting 2 home games for 1 away game at Florida Gulf Coast.)

For transition teams in the RPI they could increase the weight of their games after each successful transition year.(a Third year transition team will be worth more then a First year transition team)

The rason for the change is that if a team wins their conference tournament then i believe they deserve to be in the actual tournament not a play in game. I know that they lose the spot light for the lower ranked teams as there are only 4 games played on that day.

I'd be for that, but in the end, politics will rule the day....

If you suggest to the "power conferences" that their #7 or #8 team is less important than another conference's champion, they'll throw a hissy-fit and threaten to take their ball home....

The leagues #7 or #8 teams will still make the tournament They will just be regulated into the play in games. Money won't change as the play in games give the same amount of money to the loser as the first round. To ease travel they could have the play in games at the sites of that brackets first round game.

It's probably in the NCAAs best interest for playin games to have "names". Face it, Texas Southern vs Kennesaw St. as a play in is hardly the draw that Kennesaw St. vs South Carolina would be.

I was just reading something that Freaked posted, when over in a side-bar, this cought my eye....

(CBS talking to Turner about handing the Final Four telecasts over to Turner (TBS ? TNT ?))....
Surprising, I would think viewership in your oh-so-desirable beer-and-car-buying 25-49 male category is HUGE, and advertising sales for those 3 games must fetch a nice chunk of change !

CBS seems to have no issues showing sports (such as SEC football) on Saturday late afternoon & evening - Monday night it would bump off some crappy sitcoms.... (what is CBS's thinking ?)
