I don't think a seed bonus is the way to go. I wonder if this is related to the lack of big time talent in freshmen? Especially with steals being toned down, I don't think the top teams are causing as many turnovers on lower-level opponents. I've definitely noticed that during the regular season there are more upsets and closer scorelines, which is not a bad thing really as there were probably too MANY blowouts in the last version, but I wonder if it's maybe too close now. A bump in attributes for the 5-star recruits might make some of the top sides a little stronger come tourney time.
