I know ti would not be fair to unaffiliated teams, and it reduces the importance of non-conferenct play to near zero... but I thought it would be interesting to give each of the top three teams in each of the four conferences a NCAA Tournament berth. This would make the selection 100% objective, and only the seeding would be in any part subjective. This would also make the conference consolation games MUCH more interesting. This plan is not without its flaws, however. - Jon
