In response to palestra38
Either we have a tournament or not--that is the choice, and frankly, I don't think it is going back to the old system.
No, of course it isn't. The current system is a good compromise that provides the spectacle the league wants (and probably feels it needs) while maintaining a degree of regular season relevance. It could be argued, however, that only teams with winning league records should qualify for the tournament. If the fourth place team finished 6-8 (i.e. Penn 2017), the #1 seed would get a bye into the championship game. That would make sense and be fair, but the league would never truncate its spectacle to achieve that end.
