I would not have a problem with reigning champions having an automatic at-large bid. Giving the team the opportunity to defend their title, but still having to earn their paid bid. However, I do believe every reigning champion (should or would) be able to obtain an at-large bid. However, no other sport does this. The Green Bay Packers do not have an automatic "in" to the playoffs, just because they won last year.
