I agree with that. Which is why I'm all for eliminating an at-large bid. The winner is going to come out of the top 10-12 teams, at best, usually. And I think the play-in game is stupid. Bring it back to 64, put everyone in the "real" tournament, reward those teams who won the little conferences with an extra game. And then every year or two one of those teams makes a run and everybody gets excited about the underdog.
That's far more interesting than letting in Penn State or Arizona, somebody who rigged their non-conference with all home games or weak sisters, then barely stayed afloat in a weak conference.
