Though this sounds really weird, it's similar to how the WHL used to run its playoff. 6 teams, 3 first round series, then the top survivor gets a bye to the final. It worked pretty well -- maximize revenue and maximizing the top team's chance to advance to the Memorial Cup, both things good for the league.

1-12, 2-11, etc.; reseed; 3-6, 4-5; reseed; 1-4, 2-3; winners for the championship

This sounds like a pretty decent idea. 12 teams make it (meaning that four teams are left out in the cold... something that this tournament needs), no team gets stuck with a "double bye", but there's still a reward for doing well during the regular season and winning the first game.

The only issue I have with the proposal that it would be very, very difficult to play 6 games in one day at the MSG, and putting the first round on campuses takes away some of the allure of the tourney. I suppose that the first six games could be split over two days...

I cant bare to watch MN/MSU OT. So I am watching score updates on ESPN during the WVU/ND game. :o

Edit: Oh and New Mexico lost in Mtn West so an extra team might take a spot?
