					<description><![CDATA[AGREE!  The only thing that needs to be changed is switching it back to 64 teams instead of 65!  Please reward these two smaller school teams a chance to play in the actual NCAA Tournament instead of shipping them out to Dayton.  Take away one of the &quot;bubble teams,&quot; or add four spots (total 68) and allow the last for 8 at-large bids to fight it out in Dayton.  Very unfair for a Conference champion to earn the right to play with a one game playoff.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I could not agree more. Dilution of the tournament and dragging it out will take away from the nostalgia and render the regular season nearly meaningless. Now if you want to have several play-in games for the final at-large spots, I could be on board with that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agreed. In the age of mediocrity in college basketball, the last thing we should do is reward it with NCAA Tournament berths. What they should do is get rid of that dumb play-in game and leave it at the traditional 64. That&#039;s only a minor thing however. Expanding to 96 would be a major disaster.]]></description>
