One question though -- why have multiple playoff teams at all without divisions? As I recall the development of the leagues, when there were no divisions, there was only the World Series to determine the better team between the two league winners. A second round was added -- the League Championship Series -- when the use of divisions required a means of determining who would appear in the World Series.
So, if there are no divisions, whom do they play before the World Series? Each other? What's the point, if they've been playing each other over and over all year long just fighting to get to this point?
I'm not trying to denigrate here, I'm honestly curious.
