Speaking in basic terms, it seems that the variance between a 1-seed and a 16-seed isn't great enough to make an upset the 1 in 100 or less occurrence it should be. Increasing the talent level from top to bottom would seem to disrupt what in the regular season seems to be a pretty good setup. I don't think we're seeing a massive number of upsets in the regular season but we do in the postseason.

I'm for anything that keeps the regular season wins and losses right where they are but tones down the postseason upsets.

The talent of incoming freshmen is pretty much fine IMO on the whole, there just isn't that large a jump in the guys at the top. Though partly I think that's also because FBCB doesn't have the same number of underclassmen declaring early, meaning that freshmen are coming in behind highly rated 3rd and 4th year upperclassmen.
