With 16 first round games, some are going to be great and some will be duds, but at least it's enough to have several great ones. There are a lot of blowouts in the first weekend of March Madness, but with that many games, several come down to the wire every year.

And fans who think that 64 is too many and it should just be 16 are welcome to start watching in the second weekend.

Based on the Big 10 proposal of a 28- or 32-team bracket with no conference championship games and at least 1 bid from every conference, so the first round would be this coming weekend. Rather than seeding strictly 1-32, I think they could have 4 each of 1 through 8 seeds in order to avoid rematches and spread the conferences around.

Personally, I think this would be a lot of fun. There would still be a few bubble teams upset (I considered Illinois and Iowa State), but nobody is going to feel bad about an 8-4 team getting left out.

We would have in 2010, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022. But under a 12 or 16 format, and probably 24 also depending on the autobid rules, we only would have made it in 2014.
