The NCAA is getting creative with its expanded, 68-team Division I men's basketball tournament bracket.
Pedigreed and non-pedigreed teams, alike, figure to play in a new opening round of games drawn up by the 10-person committee that oversees the association's signature event and unveiled Monday.

Starting next March, the last four teams landing at-large invitations to the tournament — some or all almost certain to come from marquee conferences — will meet two or three days after Selection Sunday for a place among the event's lower-middle seeds, say No. 10, 11 or 12. The four lowest-seeded teams, invariably the champions of lower-profile, lower-rated conferences, also will meet, playing into No. 16 seeds.

I will need to see what it looks like, but I think with teams playing into the 10, 11, or 12 seed, you won't fill out your bracket until those games are over, so it will ruin filling out your bracket on Monday after the selections come out, unless your in one that you have to pick a winner in those games.

Since the NCAA controlls the NIT, let the NIT become the play in game and let the season run right up until football season the following year.
