Heck, they'd schedule 2 bad D3 teams and play the 10 weakest teams, the NCAA minimum of D1 games. The regular season would be unimaginably awful and, come season's end, numerous teams would have 100% winning percentage. With no real way to differentiate between them (because SOS is a non-factor). The Tournament would be composed not of the Top Teams but of the teams that did the best job of scheduling the weakest teams. RunR, I dunno...
Hopfan16, we're aware, we all have our ax to grind, and... I dunno. Hard to believe that he really believes this but, sure enough, every season...
Didn't Bryant beat 'Cuse in a n$aa playoff game recently? or, was it really 8-10 years ago?
But, your scenario is silly. Take top 16 teams and have them play this week schedule. Year in, year out. And think how stupid it is that all these "bad" teams are now suddenly making the n$aa tournament b/c they will benefit....and greatly, because every top team will go 14-0 against them, and the "them" RPI....the biggest part......is your opponents record. So, Wagner or NJIT middle/50% rpi will be 1.0, because they LOST to 14, 14-0 teams.
Get it now?
