At the same time, I think we’re going to see an uptick in teams that sit starters for the final week. More spots means more teams will be locked into the tournament, and I think that’s going to lead to more of those scenarios where coaches elect to prioritize rest over seeding — especially since there’s only one bye to earn.

Teams could still very easily lock themselves into the 2 seed before the final game and then they are just going to make it their own bye week by resting starters. So I think that aspect of it is going to level out somewhat many times.

If you want an extra playoff game, then let 8 teams in and keep the top two get a bye.

6 teams play the first week and 3 win and 2 byes... Maybe all 4 division winners get a bye and then the next 4 best records get in and fight amongst themselves for the right to play the division winners? I kinda like that... |

If you were going to do that, make the 17th game a bye for the division winners and have the next 8 teams in each conference play each other to position them to play the division leaders the next week. You would still get that 17th week and have three weeks of playoffs before the Superbowl.

First round would be:
7@2 6@3 5@4 Lets say 7 upsets 2 and both 3 and 4 take care of business then the 2nd round looks like: 7@1 4@3 If 7 pulls a '19 Titans and 3 beats 4 then 3 has homefield in the Conference Championship. Not bad actually. Sometimes teams get hot late after a piss poor start but fall just shy of the playoffs due to tiebreakers. With this setup, that 7th seed could potentially be the most dangerous team in the playoffs. Last edited by SAGA45; 02-20-2020 at 10:02 AM.. |
