Message: [QUOTE="hoopsfan22, post: 4563459, member: 9074"] Unfortunately it would never work. CFB already tried it with the BCS, and instead of complaining at the humans ranking the teams, they started gaming the systematic part of the equation, or lobbying to reduce the importance of the math until the BCS was basically just back to where they started with human polls largely dictating the standings for post-season. I am not sold that every conference tournament winner should automatically qualify. First I see conference tournaments as pointless, aside from the money making aspect, and unless you have a systematic way to place the auto-qualifiers since some of them will not be in the top 64/68, you will have humans deciding where they fit in. If you have to have conference tournaments, then I'd rather those 3-4 games just be a "last chance" for teams to improve their NET scores, and if they make the cutoff they are in, and if not, well they still have conference bragging rights.
