Simple question, how will this work? Will only the top Pod teams be in the running at the end of the regular season or can a lower pod team win the regular season AND NIT BID if they have the best conference record?

But my guess as long as we do this in pods then there is a 99.99999999999999998% chance Pod 1 candidates win the conference.

No there isn't. The 6th place team can not finish higher than 6th. Part of the reason is the top pod obviously is playing a much tougher schedule and the 2nd pod much easier. The 5th place pod 1 team could lose them all down the stretch and will still finish 5th.
