Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2554376, member: 6927"] I personally find it exciting to watch the mid-majors get at-large bids and get their shot at the P5 schools in the Big Dance. But the committee isn't tasked with choosing the teams that I or anyone else find most exciting. Their job is to choose the best 32 at-large teams (based on achievements as of selection day) and to do so without bias based on conference affiliation. And to be honest, I highly doubt that teams like Mercer and Quinnipiac would would fare better than Iowa or Michigan State if they were in the Big Ten. If you want to advocate for a limit of 4 teams per conference in the NCAA tournament, that would be a major reform, but it would undoubtedly lessen the overall quality of the at-large field. [/QUOTE]
