  • NCAA Bracket Expantion

    With the advent of the Nacho and B1G next year (Making 7 AQs) does the NCAA expand the regional brackets to 4 games with the 4-5 seeds playing the day before the regional semifinals?

    No. Hockey already has more teams in the tourney than we should.

    It's also only 6 AQ's...HEA, AHA, ECAC, NCHC, WCHA, B1G

      I agree, but then at what point does this become a viable option?

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

                  Seems to be as good a number as any.

                  Maybe somewhere in the 70s if we're getting squirrelly.

                      I think we should discuss the spelling of the word "expansion".

                          I like that every team in the hockey tournament COULD win in the first round. Granted, #1 seeds don't lose in the 1st round often, but in basketball, I'm pretty sure a #1 seed has never lost in the first round. To me, that is a sign of too many teams. There should be enough that every team can have an honest shot at going once in a while, but few enough that every team that goes has at least an outside shot at winning one game (and stupid play-ins don't count to me).

                            NCAA Championships committee uses a 25% rule when evaluating the size of championship fields. The make-up of conferences and AQs is irrelevant.

                            We are closer to the tournament shrinking than expanding.

                              Although they don't necessarily use that figure for post season fields as opposed to their championships. And absent a significant cutback in the number of teams I doubt there would be a cutback in the tourney field. I believe that the NCAA is pretty happy with the current setup and I think they would rather not have to deal with first round byes if it can be avoided. When you do that, it opens up other issues and makes it harder to fairly seed each region. And the 25% is not a hard and fast rule, anyway. More like a target/guideline.
