Yes, but so what? That outrage, much like the outrage that an NCAA basketball team doesn't make it to the Big Dance is short-lived and inconsequential once the playoff begins. Sure teams will get screwed and not make the playoffs. But people want the
championship settled. Like I said, all that matters is that you have a legitimate championship game. And a playoff is as legit as it gets.

So you're saying a playoff isn't as inclusive as it should be in an ideal world where teams don't get to pick their regular season games, so it doesn't work even though you have the exact same problem right now? Sounds like you're just arguing to have a bigger playoff pool.
