Twenty Four

This year is shaping up to become a good argument to expand the playoffs.

Especially since 2 of the at-large bids might go to conferences without an auto-bid, Cal Poly and CCU (I still think some things need to happen, either JMU or SC State make the playoffs).

I could name 3 teams from the A-10, SoCon, Gateway, Big Sky, and maybe the Southland that could win some playoff games. There's only 4-5 open spots for these 9-10 teams.

I am somewhat new to the site here...

How would a 24 team playoff be configured? I know they do it at the DII and DIII levels.

Byes for 4 or 8 teams? Sorry I dont want to think to hard this sunday...

4 weeks of playoffs is enough. Stay at 16 teams.

Byes for the top 8 teams.

I think this year is a good reason to shrink the playoffs. So many non-deserving teams will be in!

I would tend to agree

With everyone beating everyone, how do you determine what 'deserving' is?

Just saying there won't be any teams that have a real gripe IMO. There will be a slew of three+ loss teams that won't have a leg to stand on when complaining about not getting a bid.
