I'm fine with expanding it by four teams. If you're going to have play-in games for two of the 16 seeds and two of the 11/12 seeds you might as well have play-ins in all four brackets.
Although I'd be a little more radical with it. The new play-in games wouldn't be for 16 seeds. In my mind the 16 seeds have earned their way into the field. So kill off the 16-seed play-in games and make all four of the play-ins for the last eight at-large teams in the field.
Those teams are all mediocre and didn't earn their way in by winning a conference championship, so put them all against each other in a mid-week bubble play-in series.
Those teams actually play teams better than high school level. They earned it far more than West Lafayette Tech who's best win is likely Northeast Central Mississippi Trade School.
Put a 16 or 15 vs 8 at-large for play in games and let's watch as 15 and 16's bat less than .100
If they can't beat an at large, they didn't deserve to be there. Now the at large moves on and plays a 1 or 2.
