[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 999833, member: 4110"] I do think it is a good idea for the majority of the pre-season to be used for conference Dual Meets formatted like the ACC-SEC challenge. That way pre-season shedules would be more systematic based on a conference round robin structure. It would be beneficial specially if there were no team rankings until after the conference dual meets were completed. Then there would be less pre-season bias in the conference rankings that could impact NCAAT at large selection that get carried through from the beginning of the season. The messy part is how do you seed the dual meets? Ideally, the seedings would be done on the fly so that if, for example, Gt was projected last in the ACC preseason, but was 3-0 going into the ACC-Big10 dual meet, that GT's seeding would be adjusted for the 3-0 record. I don't know how practical that would be. On the other hand, the conference games are the best games of the year and I don't see where reducing the number of interesting games is such a good idea. Conference teams "beating up on each other" is only an issue with regards to the NCAAT, and the NCAAT only applies to 19 percent of eligible teams. I think fans are too focused on the NCAAT and ignoring some highly relevant basketball. Only teams having a really good year get in. So I wouldn't be sacrificing the regular season for a handful of bubble teams impacted by selection algorithm sampling bias. [/QUOTE]
