This. I liked that it gave us return games with mid majors that probably wouldn't schedule us otherwise. We got a home game against a very good Green Bay team last year because of it.

Since most of the perennial at-large contending mid majors are now in power conferences (Butler, Creighton), or in the A10 tier (VCU, George Mason), I don't think we'll ever see "BracketBusters" again. However, I'd love to see a similar format with a different name, and perhaps have the game at the very end of the OOC season. I know it's hard to gauge how good teams are in OOC play (prime example, my school), so match ups may be tough to form, but it would be a great way to get ready for conference play. Not to mention the return game.

That's just what I'd like to see. It won't ever happen though.
