That's where you see the impact of the round robin- extremely difficult if not impossible to get more than 3 teams as top 6 seeds(if you are getting 6+ teams in the tourney). Seeing it with Big 12 as well- they have 7 in, but only have 3 teams as well in the top 25.
First let’s nit just gloss over that 60% of the league would be getting bids. I’ll sign up for that today. Secondly, I don’t the round robin affects the bids as much as you think. A hypothetical... SJU finishes 4th in a stacked BE this year. OOC they knock of Duke who wins the ACC and they end up beating #1 (I hope) Nova, #3 Xavier and #10 SHU. Enter the tourney with 6 losses—all to other BE tourney teams. Don’t think they’d be a top 4 seed?
