With the system right now only the winner of each conference's post season tournament (excluding Ivy League that uses their regular season champion) gets an automatic bid for the NCAA Division Basketball Tournament. This means that except for the very few conferences that use the regular season to determine which teams qualify for their playoff, the regular season means nothing. The Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Big East, Big 12, and Mountain West should all have two AQ. The Pac-12 sucks at basketball so it makes sense that they shouldn't get an extra bid and the Mountain West is year in and year out a solid conference. Even though the winner of each of these conferences regular season already makes the tournament it would be a nice rule just in case a team has a bad non-conference season and a bad tournament. For league's that are divided between two divisions the winner of each one would play the other in a one off game before the tournament. In addition to this every other conference would have there AQ determined by their regular season. They would still be free to host a post season tournament as a way of helping teams make the national tournament.
