The goal isn't to assign fault for failure to the team rather than the conference. The goal is very specifically to increase the seeding and potentially earn an at large bid (the secondary goal). Whether teams "step up" or not is not a consideration. If teams are not able to "step up" then the experiment is a failure in accomplishing the only goal that it has.
I think your putting the chicken before the egg. I'm not sure what system you could put in place that would meet the stated goals but not require the top teams to "step up". If you are saying the status quo met those goals then I disagree.

I will simplify my point... Nothing is more valuable than winning games. If a system makes it harder to do that, I doubt it will more often than not have the intended effect, which is to improve NCAAT seeding.

Unfortunately, that is no longer true. You will get much more mileage with a loss at a Top P5 school than you will by beating up a 300 ranked team. That's the way the NET was designed.

I was referring to the pod system where the variance between the "good teams" and the bad teams is not enough to making losing to the "good team" worthwhile.

Totally agree with you on the totality of the schedule btw. Non con needs to be the toughest schedule you can manage.
