The more teams you put in a playoff, the more teams that will be **tching every year that they should have been in it. In fact, 4 teams is already too many. Every year you have a couple teams saying they should have been number two, and now you're going to have about 5 or 6 teams, at least, saying that they deserved to be somewhere in the top 4. This is not the NFL, where you have 32 teams divided evenly at 16 for each conference. There are 120 teams in division 1 alone, and that leaves a lot of teams with similar or identical records. You can't have all of them in a playoff, because it would create way, way too many extra games.

Case in point, the NCAA basketball tournament had 64 teams. Every year you had a butt load of mediocre teams whining that they got left out. Now there are 68 teams. It's completely absurd. And the saddest thing is that it hasn't slowed down the whining even a little bit. The more you expand, the more teams you have thinking they deserve to be in, and the worse the product becomes.

But at least they don't play a brutal sport... Football is, and so this new system is stupid, and it WILL NOT fix anything. College football is different, and people never should have messed with it, IMO.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
