But your point is still valid on the distance aspect. That is why I support the West Coast Conference way, if we stay at 10 teams. Their basketball bracket has #1 & #2 not playing till semis, #3 & #4 not till quarters, and #5 & #6 not till second round. No reason to not adapt a similar way for other sports as well, especially non-revenue sports. Also makes the regular season mean more.
