Message: [QUOTE="andy34, post: 2066233, member: 7239"] The simplicity and elegance of the 64 team field was so nice. I hate the "first four" and I refuse to call the first round games "second round" games. The extra 4 teams were added to weaken the bubble, so the committee could squeeze in a few more major conference teams that ordinarily wouldn't deserve to get in. One of my favorite parts of March Madness is how some little known team could pull off an incredible run in their conference tourney and sneak into the big dance - but now these teams just get shunted into the JV league "First Four" and I think that sucks. If you win your conference tournament, you should get to play in the actual first round. [/QUOTE]
