>>And then you would have the number 17 team moaning because they were left out.<<
True, but there is a HUGE difference between number 17 complaining and number 3 complaining. If number 3 should really be number 2, then that’s a potential national championship they don’t win. If number 17 should really be number 16, then that’s likely a first or, at best, second round playoff finish they don’t get.
16 seeds have never won an NCAA basketball tournament game. I’m not saying that equates to football, but it will be a long time before a ‘teen seed would win in football under a playoff system.
I do, however, think your idea about the leagues has merit.
good points and I agree.
