That’s still an extra neutral site game


Huh...how so? Higher seed would HOST the game. Its not made for visiting fans. Its a true road game, thus the importance of the regular season and getting into that top 8 seeding. Thats my point, it keeps the importance of the regular season, by potentially hosting a playoff game.

You’re advocating for a 16 team playoff as follows:

16) campus
8) neutral
4) neutral
2) neutral

Correct?

If the Round of 8 is played at neutral sites, that’s an extra neutral site game. 3 rounds at neutral sites is greater than 2. Unless you’re advocating for removing conference title games.

It should be:

16) campus
8) campus
4) campus (this one neutral also at worst)
2) neutral
