It can be done. In Ohio HS Football, the computer rankings determine who makes the state playoffs. Record, opponents record, strength of schedule, size of school all factor in. People are afraid to open a can of worms, well right now you have a can of whoopass - 1% of the schools dominating the other 99%. If this was basketball, it would have been fixed a long time ago. No one cares enough about Volleyball to fix it. You can still have your state tourney and 16 teams, but have 8 at large bids and make it 24.

I can agree and disagree with what you have stated. Using Ohio football as an example does not appeal to me as I am not a big fan of computer points systems as I thing the BCS in college football sucks tremendously. I think heads up competition should be the primary focus of any tournament or playoffs. However, the last statement you made is something I think they can look at and it could spice up the tournament. Keep the tournament as is but add 8 more at large bids for ranked teams who may have been eliminated in tough regions.
