The NCAA is not going to cut the field so any discussion on it is moot. I would rather see at large bids go to mid-majors who had outstanding years. Having a 6th, 7th or 8th team from a power conference when they couldn't get into their own top 4 only continues to divide the universe from the "haves" and the "have nots". The Big10 is looking at 6 bids most likely and who really thinks all but one of them will make to the sweet 16? Heck, I would be shocked if 3 of the teams made it to round 2.

I would be curious to hear from Plebe on this idea I have heard-while no teams under .500 can get an at-large bid, I think it is interesting to say no school with an equal to or sub .500 conference record get a bid. I don't think that limits and conferences/schools this year but it means you must make hay in your league to warrant post season play.

I guess I just think if the NCAA is going to play up the Cinderella story as so many schools made the jump to D1 over the past 15 years, then reward the mid-majors for their efforts.
