Message: [QUOTE="BRS24, post: 4570686, member: 197"] Exactly this. What is being rewarded - working hard to win the conference, or getting hot during the conf tourney? A team could have a great overall record, go undefeated in conference, and then one of the lower seeded teams with a mediocre record gets hot/lucky, and wins the conf tourney. Now what? Depending on how the "experts" rank the conference and all the other stats used, that top team might not get a bid. The conf tourneys are partly there for income, and for some, to give >1 team a chance at the big dance. It would be fascinating to see a bracket with regular season champs as AQs, then what fills in afterwards. [/QUOTE]
