It's all about access. Who's to say they may not pull off a miracle run. Would you be in favor of leaving out a division champion from the playoffs in baseball because another team being left out in another division had a better record? They won their conference, thus, should be rewarded with a spot in the playoffs. March Madness also gives a guaranteed birth in the tournament to the winner of each conference no matter how good or bad the conference.
