Of course, they had that until 1980 or so, and it was eliminated. No one wants to see losers, and no one wants to lose two straight. You can come up with an interesting matchup in that game ever couple of years, but ultimately no one cares.
Seems like third-place games are out of fashion -- they ditched it in the hockey tournament as well.
