No expansion of the NCAA Tournament yet.

2 new metrics added to the selection committee's selection process. For those not familiar with Bart Torvik, I guess they will become more familiar with it now.

[I]BartTorvik.com, [URL='https://barttorvik.com/#']a predictive metric similar to KenPom.com[/URL], was approved as an official team sheet metric, per the NCAA's release. Torvik's T-Rank system has ascended in popularity in college basketball circles over the past half-decade. The other big add is a metric referred to as "Wins Above Bubble," which is résumé-based and in essence shows how many more (or fewer) wins a team has earned against its schedule vs. what an average bubble team would do against that same schedule. For the hardcore analytic community in basketball, Wins Above Bubble (WAB) has been regarded as the most objective of all metrics when it comes to evaluating résumé performance. [/I]
