I really like the newly proposed elimination system. I'd go through all my reasons, but Joe has covered all the bases. Michael brings up some reasonable concerns, but I think they could be addressed with one simple change.
Instead of playing each division down to one champion and creating a final four, play down to the two finalists of each division, thereby creating an 'elite eight'. From here, these teams could play off in some format to determine the national champion. Re-seeding these teams in some manner would probably make the most sense, but there are other options.
Overall, by allowing two teams from each group to move on to the next round, it lessens the effect of having a stacked division.
