An auto bid to the top G5 works in at least one of two ways. It takes bias out of the picture and allows G5 to be ranked fairly throughout the season and takes the guesswork out of the equation. Also, if it so happens that the G5 representative isn't that good, it allows the #1 team in the country almost a bye week; it rewards them for being #1.

.....so I guess you want to reduce the # of march madness teams from 64 to 32 or 16--because we certainly can't have a 1vs16. The beauty of sports---is the GIANT upset. EVERY conference champion should play in the playoffs. Why do you want to screw the little guy ?

Your point is very valid. Valid enough to warrant an essay from stamms in 3...2...1...
