I ove the sage old expert who just "knows" that the "best team" usually doesn't win the NCAA tourney.

Just like all the football sportswriter experts who "know" who the best team really is every year.

I'm just not that smart I guess, I say just put the top 8 teams in the hopper and whoever is standing in the end is the recognized NCAA D1A football champ. I'll leave the experts to argue the semantics of best team vs champion.

As for diminishing the regular season, I say seed the 8 teams and give home field ala the NFL. It puts that argument to bed rather quickly.
