Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?
[ QUOTE ]
As for NCAA basketball tourney, it depends on what the goal is.
If the goal is to crown the true/best champion, I would limit it to the top 16 teams at the end of the year.
The problem is that there are 330+ division I-A basketball schools and tons of conferences and the big tournament gives them all at least entrant.
It also makes the tournament go longer and produce more revenue and excitement.
Variance = excitement, but doesn't necessarily produce the best champion of course.

There are of course ways to give the the top 16 teams an edge while including a shot for 64 teams.
