With all this talk about the 4 - 5 game vs the 3 - 6 game, and how many think the late, late show game is a distinct disadvantage and the 3 seed may be worse than the 4 or 5, I had this idea...
Let the teams choose their seed.
Do a conference call of all the AD's on the last regular season Saturday, after all the regular season games are over. Probably about 5 or 6pm once the standings are completed. Let the teams pick their seeds in order of conference finish.
I would wager many teams finishing 3rd will pick the 4 seed. It might depend on the strength of the teams in a particular season. This would give more value finishing higher.
