Can you imagine the howling at NCAA tournament time when the A10 gets 6 teams in-- all by virtue of winning top 50 games against each other?

Can you expand on this?
I do not see how this would help.
I ran the rpi wizard. I dropped 2 home a10 games, and I dropped 2 a10 away games. The 4 a10 teams that I dropped were all middle of the pack teams for the 2016-2017 season.
I dropped Davidson,
SBU, GW, and George Mason.
I added 4 home wins vs. #200 Morehead State.
UD's rpi and sos went from 30 and 71 to 36 and 89.
Your idea seems to make things worse, not better.
