I use to be old school, 2-8 teams leagues, with just regular season league champions going to WS, but now l have come to like the playoff format. You have to have a good regular season AND have to perform, not choke, when the pressure is on during the playoffs. Just because a team is really hot during the first couple months of the season doesn’t mean they are the best team at season’s end.

I guess if you think the real champion should just be limited to the team with the best regular season record, then maybe one 28 team league, everyone plays every team 6 games, and the team with the best won/lost record after 168 games is consider the champion for the year with no post season. Actually this would be as fair as anything I suppose but it would be very boring IMO.

Another way to look at it. Arod during the regular season was a much better player than Jeter but when you factor in the post season, I would definitely say Jeter was the better player-IMO. IE you have to be good during the regular season and not choke during the post season (LAD).
