The greed of the top teams to make sure they suck the excitement out of all things good about college sports.

I just read an article that was making the case that Miami (OH) is not a lock if they lose one game and then lose their tourney as well. They would be something like 28-1, and not get in.

Yet Auburn, who is 15-13, is in the same position.

My argument:

1)if a team can't win half it's conference games, they can't get an auto bid. "But they play a harder schedule!" Yes, and half of the conference games are at home, and they proved they can't get it done. They proved they are mediocre already. Notice the NCAA leaves out the Conference record on their Net Ratings Site. Auburn is 6-9 in the SEC.

2)Power teams that don't play/win true road games shouldn't get in either. Auburn's best win was played in a tourney, on third day in a rowagainst St John's. Who did they beat on the road in OOC? No one on the road. Now did Miami of Ohio play any truly hard road games? No, but that is because the big dawgs will never come to their house. Miami would always have to go on the road.

3)I'd be excited to see Miami (OH) in the tourney, and I think more people are like me than not.
