The biggest problem I see with the play-in has to do with byes. One of the reasons I would like to see the tournament expanded to 16 teams is that it would get rid of the bye to the top four teams. Everyone would have to play the same number of games to win the championship. With a play-in added to the current format, the winners of the play-in would have to play two more games than the top four seeds. It would be nice to give the extra four teams the opportunity to make the tournament, but I wouldn't want to see that happen at the expense of seeds 9-12. Paulette Dwen Cornell '89 Let's Go Red!
