I would prefer 8 but I know money wins out and will go to 16. I definitely believe the Championship game should be around Jan 1st like in the past instead of mid January. This will help with declaring for the portal. Makes it easier for kids to transfer before the new semester starts and give coaches more time to evaluate their team needs. The regular season can end a week earlier and stop the long layoffs for the teams between season end and their playoff games.
