That's really not a bad plan, and i agree 8 is too many, as long as its not just the 6 BCS conferences get an AQ. If you could, take the top 6 conference winners as long as they are in the top say 12-15, so no unranked UConn gets in for winning the Big East. If you don't have 6 top 12-15 conference winners, then the next non conference winners get in.

Well in theory i agree with you...but putting the rankings into the automatic bids goes against the "you didn't tell us what we needed to do" argument. for instance, as shitty as it is that conference tourney winners get automatic bids to the NCAA tourney, you don't get bitching from the reg season champ because the rules were clear from the beginning. if there is not objective criteria, there will continue to be an uproar. And granted this doesn't satisfy the midmajor crowd, but it's a start.
