T-Dub Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Agree with division winners with losing records forfeiting a playoff berth to an extra WC team in theory but then it would have to be from the same conference & what if that team is like 9-8 vs a 11-6 team from the opposite conference. A freebie for a slightly less mediocre team isn't a huge improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the NBA regular season is halfway exhibition tier with over half the field guaranteed a playoff berth. Back in the NFL though imagine Tampa still making it at 7-10 with the Bengals missing out at 11-6. (Unlikely at this point but possible.) Riots would follow.

Back in the NFL though imagine Tampa still making it at 7-10 with the Bengals missing out at 11-6. (Unlikely at this point but possible.) Riots would follow. I’ll take it a more recent step further: ATL and NYM battle to the last week of the season for top spot in the NL East. ATL wins but both teams combine for 202 wins. Braves win division and get a bye. NYM have to settle for top Wild Card, but get to host all 3 WC games at home. 3rd-place PHL squeak in to the newly created 7th spot for the WC— with a normally mediocre 87 wins ( prior years would have been eliminated). SD also squeaks in with an almost as bad 89 wins. After winning an opening round 3-on-the-road win at division-winning St Louis, PHL advances to face the 101-win ATL. Meanwhile, the Padres eliminate the 101-win Mets. PHL then wins series against 101- win ATL, while SD eliminates the 111-win LAD. PHL then wins against SD to advance to the World Series. The 3 of the top-4 teams in MLB all gone without any of them advancing one round. No riots. Just one helluva lot of fun. It’s what it’s all about.

Didn’t know that reference so I would say, yes? Yahoo is much better than what you would think. I use them for my FFB league that I am in and I would say I have been with this league for about 12 years now or more. Their NFL day game coverage is pretty good. BTW, I hate IE as they are a virus haven Browser. I used to use Firefox for the longest of times but, have been using Microsoft Edge as they bumped out IE for a few years now. So you could say I have graduated and I hope you approve. An arrow up will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the NBA started with seeding, the Washington Bullets won (late ‘70’s) a title. They were the last team in. Seattle won in the mid-‘80’s as a 7 seed. Houston won in the mid-‘90’s as a 6 seed. These are off the top of my head Nothing recently, other than maybe the Nets a few seasons ago. I remember they were low-seeded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
