Nice guy, but disillusioned Coach Oats. The Power conferences all see them getting four more schools in the draw.

The problem is, if they add four more tourney spots, my guess is it averages out to 3+ of those spots go the the 5 Football conference schools every year.
Now if as part of this expansion, they also said that any team that does not finish with a winning record in their own conference (they can even count tourney games if they want) is not eligible for an at large bid, I would be all for it. Of course my idea will never happen.
