since you did eight 4 team divisions...its a little more difficult to setup because in order to work, you could have just division winners, just like you said, or take the top two in each division and play a best of three or something, but i think that takes away from winning the division...just my humble opinion my good friend...  |
You are absolutely right about them never eliminating a playoff team, but I just despise the idea of a one game wild card. I don't have any problems with using a wild card, but deciding it based on one game seems stupid after they play 162. Although I do realize I could set it at whatever length I want.
I definitely appreciate the input. While I'm currently regretting the decision because I'm in second place, but I've seen some crazy things happen once you reach the playoffs. At this point I feel it's better to go with the challenge of having to win the division, and I think I'm ok with that. I think I'm in the home stretch with this dynasty, so I'm ok with making it a little bit harder for the last few teams.
