But how do you determine which conferences stay major DI and which move down? In basketball, can you really move the Colonial Athletic Conference down when it has produced two Final Four teams in the last 6 years? Same with the Horizon League.

Apparently to the haters they should be moved down as the Horizon and CAA can only produce flukes. However over the last 6 years in the Final Four, the CAA has more teams and appearances than the Big 12 and more teams than the Pac 10. The Horizon league has the same number of teams as the Pac 10 and Big 12 (1) and also more appearances than the Big 12.

No system is perfect. Period. Once you agree on that and pick one, it's up to the teams to perform. Kansas may be "better" than VCU but they have known the rules of the game as long as anyone else. The system weighs post season games more than the regular season, this is not a shock. If you peak in February, tough shite, poor planning and player development.

One of the most rational posts I've seen on this topic. This makes me think of USC's players wearing "frick the BCS" t-shirts for the '04 season, even though their school and conference agreed to that system and without the BCS, they would never have played Oklahoma and Texas for the NC.
