Can you imagine if a basketball season had only 12 games, some of which were against scrubs out of conference, and from that they selected 4 teams out of 363 to compete for a nat'l title? LOL. Do you think they'd "get it right" consistently? I don't think anybody has any clue of who the top 4 teams are in CBB right now. You might as well just draw names from a hat.

And, again, you can’t compare college basketball to college football. They’re two entirely different sports with different variables, inherent injury risks, physical demands, recovery time, etc. 12 basketball games is not in any way equivalent to 12 football games so not even sure why you would make that analogy.
A chance? Well sure. Every team could have a ‘chance’. But we’re talking Dumb and Dumber odds here. So what you wanna do. Put every team in FBS (120 approx.) in one giant college football playoff that goes on for 6 months to determine a champion? That way everyone got a chance. That’s reeruned thinking.
Hell, while we’re at it, let’s just expand the NCAA Tourney to 363 teams, give them all a ‘chance’ and that way every one can feel good about their participation trophy and the fact they got a shot to play for a Natty. Nevermind the fact that 85 to 90 percent of them didn’t even deserve that chance in the first place. I mean, it’s dumb enough now that college basketball basically allows about 20% of their teams into the post season tourney with a ‘chance’ to play for a Natty.
I mean, I get WHY they do it ($$$$$$), but it’s still stupid.
