College Basketball 2026-27 Season Thread

While more basketball is rarely a bad thing, this move effectively kills the bubble drama as we know it.

We're trading the high stakes anxiety of Selection Sunday for the safety net of participation trophies.

This move is about one thing and one thing only. Money. It doesn’t make the tournament better to include a bunch of 16-15 P5 teams.

It doesn't kill bubble drama. It just moves it one rung down the ladder. You'll still get the same drama.

There are currently over five thousand six hundred regular season games. I don't see how adding four tournament games impacts the regular season in any significant way.

It just makes it that much easier to get in the tournament, which further reduces the importance of any individual regular season game.

For example, in 2022, we had to beat Syracuse in OT at home to put us in a good position to make the tournament. Lose that game and we’d have to beat K in his last game to get into the tourney (which we fortunately did anyway). If the tournament were 76 teams, that Syracuse game would be largely meaningless.
