Bad analogy. The current system isn't good, but it still yields a champion that we can definitively say is deserving. It's not completely broken, though I suspect you will argue that it is.
Yeah. It was a bad analogy.
My point was that I hope to see a solution that is an actual fix instead of some bailing wire job that gets us to slightly less broken.
I would add that my solace with the current system has always been that they normally get the NC team right in the end.. I have told Brandon that very thing in threads before.
A car with 2 flat tires is better than one with 4 flats, but you're still walking.

I think the casual sports fan looking for something entertaining to watch athletic wise would rather watch. Championship or semi final game be competitive than blowouts. Then, perhaps, you could convert them into a fan.
Yet two conferences took the top four seeds in the FCS playoffs this year.
They may as well just only had the Big Sky and Misery Valley participate because everyone else was an afterthought. Even the Colonial Champion William and Mary only got the 5th seed.

This is what will happen in D2. It will be the MIAA/GLIAC/GSC show...they will all get home games in every round and fans at every other school will stop caring because once the bias is set, it's not going away easily. As someone who has faced bias all his life, I know exactly how this all works.
Is it only bias? Or could it possibly be that those teams and conferences have repeatedly provided the evidence that they are deserving?
