3. SIX TEAMS, TWO GET BYES

I like this one, in theory, because it keeps the top teams honest for the entire season and provides a massive edge for finishing No. 1 or No. 2. Because as it is right now with four teams, the seedings are almost irrelevant — you have to beat two of the other three teams in the playoffs to win the title and, honestly, how many years will the committee get it right with the Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 teams? It’s a crapshoot as to who’s No.1 and No. 4. That’s what makes the two byes so fun. It adds another layer to the selection process and allows for an advantage where there was no room for one before.

"Society teaches you to get things now, right now, for yourself and not worry about anybody else. … That's not really the way you build a team or that you sustain success with a team. So for the people that are usually uneducated about what it takes to win, you know, they make rash decisions like that."
