If the 2008 Georgia team, which had a losing record even after winning the SEC Tournament, isn't forced into the play-in game, I think it's safe to say no major-conference team will ever end up there.

And why does the Great West have a school from New Jersey?

Kind of like the Western Athletic Conference having a school from Louisiana.

Ah, who needs to teach geography anymore? Just use MapQuest ...

Or the Sun Belt with a team from Colorado.
Or the Atlantic 10 with St. Louis.

Why not just let all the wanabees in Jack. Oh, wait, they already are...in the conference tournaments.


Don't let all of the wannabes in because it would make the tournament run at least two weeks longer than it does in addition to providing some horrid games. But if you have one play-in game, you should have four. At the moment, they have one...
 
Sixty-four teams is more than enough. There's no need for a 65th team, and there's certainly no need for 96 teams.

Or eliminate one at-large and go back to a 64-team tournament.
Other than Gators, who would care if Florida was left out of this year's field
