going with 18 seems pointless to me.
Any increase is going to lead to the extra week problem. But if they're set on expanding, at least go to 24 and seed the top 8.

And I can't see any reason why the Northeast Conference needs an auto-bid anyway.

I say if the OVC gets one every year, the LEAST they could do is give one to the NEC.

This makes no sense. I prefer the 16 team, 4 week playoff, but if you are going to add a 5th week, you may as well go to 24 or 32 teams.

I agree, it seems dumb to do 18, why not go all the way to 24?
