This "selection by committee" bullshite has got to stop!!!
Only in the world of academia would someone say that a universally top 8 ranked team (within the top 8 in nearly every poll) shouldn't be a top 8 host.
The top 8 teams should get automatic host. I don't care who or where they are. If the are all from the SEC, then so be it. If they are all from only two states, then so be it. If they are all team with home stadiums that seat only 800 people, then so be it.

Who determines what teams are the top 8 teams. You want the bcs in baseball?

quote:I wish it were that simple but it's not. There's a regional format for a reason. Baseball isn't a money sport. There are almost 300 teams playing in D1. Many of them are small and can't easily afford traveling across country. They do it, but the presidents/ADs want to stay as close as possible. The committee is there to make that happen in a reasonable manner while still maintaining the integrity of the tournament by making sure the best teams still host. Many years, it's easier because the best teams are spread out. This year, Only 1 team west of the Mississippi deserves a top 8 seed. That's a problem. So you add a second and make a few teams travel half the distance they normally would have.
