I have seen the BCS bias do even worse...
once the top rated team in the Top 25 lost to an unranked team and still stayed in 1st place via the biased voters!

I remember this happened with Illinois in 2005. Lost to Ohio State (they were postseason and poll-ineligible). That was the season where it was Illinois, North Carolina, and everyone else several tiers below.

So you think a team that has lost more games the last 2 months deserves to play in the best tour? to me it doesn"t make any sense.

Well, it depends who you lose to.

Using a smaller sample size as an example, would 2-3 in your last 5, with the 3 losses coming in the final minute to Dook, UNC, and Wake, be better than 4-1 in your last 5 with 2 of the wins being against Virginia, one against Georgia Tech, and one against NC State?

Of course this is all hypothetical, but to immediately throw out a 7-9 or 8-10 campaign is a little too harsh. You're not going to be sending many, if any, of these teams anyways.
 
Something that would be interesting to see is to have a 64 team play in round for the 32 "at large" spots. If you win that game then you get in, if you don't win then obviously you don't belong in the tourney for the long haul. Then seed the play in teams by the teams resume strength. Lot of pros and cons to both scenarios but it would be neat to see.

Interesting, but the only way that could be close to implemented would be BCS auto bids + top25, then every other auto-bid or at-large goes in the play-in. No way would the BCS want to subject too most of their teams to missing the "big dance"...
