re: Playoff Contenders

Just me but 16 is too many IMO... 8 teams with the 1st game on campus of the higher seeded team should be enough. Any more than 8 devalues the regular season IMO...

If it's 8 #9 will bitch, if it's 16, #17 will bitch etc...

Any more than 8 (maybe 16) you gotta cut 1 regular season game off the schedule unless they just drop the pretense of being a Student-Athlete org...
