Expanding playoffs is the easiest way to make this game as boring as possible.

I feel the exact opposite. Over such a long, grinding season, to win 96 games and miss the playoffs is ludicrous IMO.
Even in my expanded playoffs set up, the best teams usually come out on top, but then every once and awhile you have that true underdog team that makes it all the way.
It's like a whole new season of baseball, and it's far from boring. But once again, everyone has their own opinion.
