It's dumb. Why are there auto bids. Just get the 12 highest ranked teams in and call it a day.
It makes the 5 seed so valuable, too. Why not lose the Big10 title game and get to play the 12 seed at home and then the 4 seed right after. Both of those are teams that probably won't be ranked inside the top 12.
Meanwhile the 1 seed is playing either Tennessee or UGA in the second round if it started today. How is that fair.
