A second play-in site would be added to Dayton. Omaha?

28 auto-bids with byes
28 at-large bids with byes
8 auto-bids in play-ins
8 at-large bids in play-ins

Half of play-ins in Dayton
Half of play-ins in Omaha

Red = downgraded one seed line
Green = Team added (from committee's last four out)

This would do very little damage to the current set-up...... Biggest beefs become St. John's, Providence, Ohio State, Cincinnati as the next four out become the first four out.
