Bracket Choices

I really dislike the trend with the NCAA committee toward picking teams based on "quality losses" and conversely picking apart teams' wins.  I have absolutely zero interest in seeing major conference teams with records like Marquette (20-14) and Illinois (19-13) just to name a couple.  So what if they are actually among the best 68 teams in the nation?  I don't think that should be the goal of the committee.  Those teams had their chances during the year and they finished in the middle of the pack in their conference.  Who needs to see them again?  I would much rather see teams with great records in small conferences get their shot, like Harvard at 23-6.  This bracket is filled with teams with 12, 13, 14 losses.  I just think it's stupid and does nothing to make the tournament more exciting.
