32 teams finished season with 2 losses or less, so expanding playoffs by 4 would include all of the 2 loss teams this year and probably most years.

Early losses by a young team like Harding are not as significant as their end-of-season winning streak. The committe must pick the ones who have momentum.

Random thoughts on SR3.
I don't think playing each other twice will hurt the gliac. The West coast teams do it. Playing naia teams will hurt them, though.
Margin of victory is definitely not a consideration.
I think the answer is fewer teams, not more teams. A field of 24 was enough to make sure that the 5 or 10 teams with a legit shot got in each year.
Pitt vs. Ferris is interesting. I don't really know who deserves the 2 spot more. Ferris scheduled well, but was unable to put together a full slate of games. Pitt is stuck in a silo system that they have been working to do away with since it started. Each team did everything they could to get that spot.

An excellent point. This should be one of the disussions of the selection committee today.

I think the issue with teams, from SR3 anyway, is how the Comm. chooses to use the criteria. I'm not familiar enough with the other regions. For me, if one just uses the criteria one gets one set and order. If one uses subjectivity (that team played better, played harder teams (how does one really know?) one gets a different set and order. I'm thinking the Comm. is there for a reason. Otherwise, numbers could just be feed into an equation and we'd have the order. So, each Comm will have their own personality and as a result, we'll get to debate if the correct teams and seedings were made. Subjectivity will have major impacts.
It's interesting to read in some of the threads how team "A" should not be in due to the way they lost. And yet team A played a tougher SOS and better PI. So is this an indication that SOS and PI aren't good metrics? And just to add a log to the fire, those silo conferences don't help matters since one can always question the validity of the metric when there's no objective data to show how good or poor that conference is this season. So is SiloA a tougher conf than SiloB? Based on what? Yet the w/l, sos. PI are all based upon an assumption that they are essentially equal.
May your fav team get placed as you prefer!
