Is there a point? Until somebody steps up in the West and becomes a dominant team, the East will always get preferential treatment in seedings/selection. Besides our weak non-conference SOS, the mere fact of being in the West was held against us today - and possibly even rightly so. Florida was viewed as the better draw because they played the tougher SEC schedule.

Why don't scrap the divisions and figure out a better rotation plan?

The Big 12 plays games by division but they lump everyone into a 12 team standing. That is hard for an outsider to follow. It also allows more conference teams a chance at the NCAAs. UT knew they were in, but we had a division bye and got a leg up on them in the tourney.
