I'm not saying that's wrong. Would you rather be a 7-10 seed in 4 out of 7 years, or a 3 seed once every 20 years? I think I'd rather be in the dance more often.

This just seems like an oversimplification. Do you really think that playing 2 extra buy games vs. playing 2 h/h games(1 home and 1 away)is that much of a positive difference that it is the difference between a NCAAT at-large bid and no at-large bid? And, again, one of those games is at home where we should have a pretty decent chance of winning.
