A Suggestion for the NCAA Tournament

[DobbsRover2]

Yeah, it's going to be very rare for any mid-major as schedules are currently drawn up having a losing OOC and still being considered for the tourney. Even CMU this year is only #65 in Sagarin and will not get a bid if past years are any indicator. In most years the "no losing record" rule whether for OOC or conference schedules is not going to affect more than a few teams that have a shot at a bid, and almost all of those would be P5 teams. This year is a little unusual though, and probably the breakup of the Big East is indeed the reason, so maybe a new era of brackets has begun.

Yes it would be fairly rare. But why would anyone want a rule that even occasionally would keep a top team out of the tournament?
