[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129282128, member: 1500287"] The best metric to ensure that they select the 4 best teams is to include the top 8 teams. I'm not really worried about how accurate the formula is for determining number 7 and 8 because what it really does is give you a confidence interval that you have selected the top 4 teams somewhere in that 8. 4 slots for 5 major conferences will never work. One more game does it. Settle it on the field and enjoy the years when an 8 seed threatens to win it all. I don't have an opinion about a CCG. I think the SEC game gets a lot of attention, but on the other hand the ACC CCG is often boring and poorly attended. The BIG12 will probably wait and see how things shake out - if they are consistently left out of the Final 4 they will make an adjustment. Even if they have a CCG, or if they name a champion there is still no guarantee that there won't be one or more teams with identical statistics vying for the 4th slot. [/QUOTE]
