Since it's defacto the off-season might as well discuss.
So right now arguably the best 10 teams play in a conference championship game at the end of the season. That same weekend have the remaining six highest ranked teams play three "play-in" games. That would be sweet-16 weekend if you will. The following weekend have the four elite 8 games then continue playoffs as normal.
Advantage is you've only added one week to the season and have given 16 teams a shot.
The winners of the "play-in" games which are played at the highest ranked teams home stadium would of course draw the lowest seeding.
The Elite 8 games would be played at the highest seeds home stadium assuring full attendance.
This method is infallible.

P.s. I hate playoffs in any form.
