[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 967375, member: 17953"] I think you're right. We'd be hearing how the Big 10 was a weakling in that given year. How we had nobody good enough to be there. They'd even look past all the non-conference records. The only way they'd be considered is if the Big 10 as a whole, won all but one or two non-conference games, and those losses were to top 10 teams. It's the same excuse we've been hearing by the pickers every year, when they try to load two SEC teams into the final 4. There's no doubt those making the decisions are biased, and the bloodline is all that matters to them. To that end though, we have seen some teams slip through that probably shouldn't be there, because they just plain aren't good enough. That's about the only reason I agree with the idea of a 12 team playoff. At least you separate the good from the bad early on, to get to a more representative group of top teams at the end. It takes a lot of the human error out of the equation, when it comes to picking them. But, even that is a problem, when you figure that down around 11 or 12, there might be a team that doesn't quite get there, but is really on a roll, and could make waves. [/QUOTE]
