Does that mean #2 seed no longer gets the bye?
Yes and that's the worst part of expanding the playoffs. From an objective generic football fan standpoint it's hard to argue with getting more football being played by the better teams. However from a reasoning fan standpoint having only one team in an unbalanced schedule league get a bye is BS. When the top two teams in a conference get a bye odds are they weren't both the beneficiaries of weak schedules, versus when only one does. I'd rather there were some sort of realistically weighted tiebreaker formula between the division winners for that one seed versus just W/L when team A with 14 wins may have done it playing a <.400 schedule and Team B had 13 playing a >.600 schedule
about to become hockey playoffs where Usually 1 or 2 seed knocked off before getting there.
IF this is going to succeed, then it's time for teams to be able to dress and play ALL 53 on the roster.
Great news for 7-9 teams
I like it. I just wish they made it 16 teams and got rid of the bye altogether. Too much of an advantage for one team to play one game less and have both games at home.
This is great for the Pats playoff records. LOL.
Probably not at that level but 9-7 or perhaps 8-8 too in some cases...Great news for 7-9 teams
