You are also making a good point in favor of taking the top 4 instead of conference champs in the football championship.
Better yet, expand to 16 teams with conference champs, at large/wildcards like the pros.

Since he arrived, they have been in the tournament 12 years and captured the conference five times.This is a silly factoid. The NCAA tournament did not even exist 77 years before we hired Donovan.Now, there were 56 years of NCAA pre-Donovan. Prior to 1975, only conference champions could be in the tourney. That led to some absurdities, such as the #2 team in the country (Southern Cal) missing the tourney one year as it was in the same conference as UCLA.We have had the good fortune to be in the same conference as Kentucky so, like Southern Cal, even our very good teams did not qualify until the NCAA added "at large" teams to the field. So, we really are looking at a 20 year window; not 77 years of Florida basketball.-Zeb--
