Quote:Well, 'cause there won't be 4 other teams. The divisions have been realigned this year. There are now 4 divisions of 4 teams each in each of the 2 conferences. So, that's 8 first place teams as opposed to last season's 6+4 wildcards. If there are 4 wildcard teams again this year there will need to be another playoff game or eliminate a wildcard spot from each conference.
yea, so now there will be 8+2 [instead of 6+4], and the top 2 in each division getting a bye
again i'm to lazy to actually read about it, but that seems like simple enough of an idea. but, since its so simple, my guess is they totally changed it
