YES, the NCAA Tournament should be expanded and here's how they should do it.👇
1) Start in October and include 362 teams across 32 conferences
2) Each team plays 30-31 games against others in the 362 team field
3) After those games, each conference plays it's own tournament -

Worst committee decisions:
- Iowa State —> about 3 spots lower than they should have been
- Saint Mary’s —> about 4 spots higher than they should have been
- Nevada (!!!) —> about 14 spots lower than they should have been. The WORST mistake I have ever seen the committee make

Seeing a lot of misinformation being passed around by BYU fans regarding their seeding.

By various logical theories, the only teams competing for a national championship are:
According to NET:
- Arizona
- Houston
- BYU
- Purdue
- Baylor
According to the AP Poll 6 week rule:
- Arizona
- Kansas
- Purdue
- Houston
- UConn
- Baylor
- Marquette
- Creighton
- UNC
-
UConn was number 1 in the NET this day last year.
Kansas was number 5 in the NET on December 13, 2021.
Virginia was number 1 in the NET on December 13, 2018.
So far, every national champ since the NET was released has been ranked top 5 of the NET on this date.

I’ll say it if nobody else will…
Did the committee keep Kansas as a 4 seed because they said they’d be healthy?
If they were considering moving them down to a 5 seed, BYU would have been the beneficiary to move up to a 4 seed, which means they’d be playing in Salt Lake on
Oh baby. Can’t wait to see how this line moves. We might be to Kansas -1.5 by gameday.
So Kansas misled the committee to get a 4 seed? Interesting…
