With a 96 teams bracket, #33-#96 would play...eliminating 32 teams...back to 64.

Personally, I love this idea. It gets all the conference winners in, plus anybody in the top 25 who lost their conference final, plus anybody who had a good season in a non-glamour conference.
Plus, it harkens back to the days when the top seeds got a first-round bye, which I think is a nice incentive. You play consistently well throughout the season and you're rewarded with a first round bye.
But imagine the headache of seeding 96 teams. The first 20 or so seeds would probably be pretty easy, but what's to distinguish seed #90 from seed #96?
