Thanks Edgy.FYI I LOVE this topic well done Bruce
I think it offers two things.
1. A spirited debate with no correct answer.
2. Shows that even though a lot of people complain about the 8 class system and who gets in the playoffs that it could be worse. You could have a system that favors 5 conferences that only has 4 slots in the playoffs meaning 5 teams could be undefeated conference champions with no common opponents and a group of people need to decide which one is not worthy.
