If you cut the tourney down to 8 or 16, then bye bye to most compelling regular season games. Can't risk that loss. It will be "play us at our place or don't play at all" and the good programs may play 1 or 2 carefully selected quality ooc series and certainly no home and home against a so-called "mid major".
It's called fear of competition.
That's the sole reason why college football is so exciting. The knowledge that 1 loss could ruin the season. That's what makes college football regular season amazing.
And how in any way would that make college basketball have less compelling games? I think it would be the opposite. Yea a couple out of conference games would suffer, but UNC Duke would be insane,now they have Syracuse. same with Ohio state Michigan state/michigan and wisconsin, same with Louisville/uconn, Florida/Kentucky ect. I really don't know how making the game more important would cause less compelling games

a lot of people view that differently than you fwiw. it's tough to follow a college football season when your team starts with national title hopes and then drops a game or two early. it's fun to follow a college basketball season all the way through because you are playing for seeding, to get into the tournament, etc...
i see both sides and understand why both are fun, but to a lot of people (not the majority, but a lot), the college football regular season is wayyyyy too meaningul

football and basketball are totally different sports. Teams are going to lose basketball games.

The knowledge that winning every game could mean nothing makes college football regular season a pile of shite
