Villanova was an 8 seed. The correction you should have made was that there have actually been 4 teams seeded lower than 4 that have won the title. I forgot UConn, a 7, that won a couple years back.

A 96 team field is a really stupid idea on every level.

It would have the same impact on college basketball that all of these shitass bowl games have had on college football - they've just demeaned the overall value of a bowl game. It's just a spectacularly bad idea that for some reason won't seem to die.

No more than 80. I'd be thrilled if they got more of the lower seeded teams whittled out through play-in games so there are legit 15 and 16 seeds and fewer of these teams that steal bids.
