Let's say the NCAA awarded autobids to outright conference champions as well as conference tournament champions. Here are the teams that would've missed the tournament and teams that would've been in.
Also, I know it sounds like it would ruin the possibility of upsets, but twelve seeds usually beat 5 seeds, and 12 seeds are conference tournament champions from smaller conferences, typically. It's possible for regular season conference champions to pull of the upsets. Also, last year, only four teams won games out of the bottom 13 at-large teams.
Also, 12 seeds have a better win % against 5 seeds than 11 seeds do against 6 seeds. Is this a coincidence or is it because the best conference champions are typically the 12 seeds?
This year
OUT:
BYU
Ole Miss
Dayton
Boise State
UCLA
Texas
Indiana
Ohio State
In:
Louisiana Tech
Murray State
Iona
High Point
St. Francis Brooklyn
UC Davis
NC Central
Bucknell
I don't think Ole Miss or Ohio State or Dayton has better odds at a good run in the tournament than Murray State, Louisiana Tech, or Bucknell, etc. would have.
