plays into bias in the system. You demanded evidence from this year. So I provided possible arguments. None of which I’m terribly invested in.
All I want is to preserve the byes for more than two conferences. I’m not asking for changes at all.
That said, the last forty years has given ample evidence the power conferences get the benefit of the doubt and the non power don’t. Who those power conferences are changes over time.
Your proposed change would push us further in the direction of two conferences having all the power. I’m not in favor of that.
