I don't think it is dumb, though I think it is logistical mess if you aren't careful.

But really if your biggest worry is knocking out your best teams change your tournament format. There are tons of ways to do.

Give your top two byes into the semi-finals.
Play early rounds at home sites.
Don't draw a bracket until the season is over. Eliminate everyone who isn't above .500 this year you would have four, UTA vs UL and GaSt vs. Ga So. Last year you had five so A-State vs TXST, Winner faces UTA and again Ga.St vs GaSo. 2016 would have been UL vs UALR and ULM vs. UTA.
Drop the bottom four or the bottom six.

There are plenty of options.
