I’m just completely mind blown by your reasoning here.
Why the frick would anyone want their team to fall short of the national title game?
Would Butler trade their back to back title game losses to not even have a shot and lose in the semi final? frick no

They wouldn’t. That’s why a national title is worth 25 points while finishing runner up is 12.

No. And in my rankings they get 24 points for two runner ups.
One final four is worth 10.
I’m not sure what your issue is.

He's saying being a runner up in the title isn't that much better than a final four run... I'd tend to agree that a formula for "modern ranking" should award consistency and I'd probably reduce the scaling generally. Fans want titles so they can print the shirts but consistent deep runs show how "good the program is" overall.
Something like the below would differentiate a lot between teams that have shown consistent ability to get deep into the postseason vs. a team that doesn't or just has one deep title run with a lot of inconsistency:
1st Round: 1 point
2nd Round: 1.5 points
Sweet 16: 3 points
Elite 8: 6 points
Final Four: 9 points
Runner-Up: 11 points
National Title: 15 points
