[QUOTE="stingerman, post: 990985, member: 5649"] We used to be told that in the regular season, every game is a playoff game. Every game matters. This simply isn't true, as this season's selection process showed us. If we were to have a system where conference championships are the path to the playoff, almost every regular season game becomes a lot more interesting. Playoff implications will be at stake in many, many games as we get to mid-season. I would start watching G5 games where playoff implications were at stake. Dozens of teams would still have hope as the end of the regular season neared. Their fans would be highly engaged. Putting aside the fundamental fairness of giving every team a clear path to a championship, there is a TV ratings case for setting up the system in this way. The powers that be seem to have missed that hope draws fan interest and is good business. [/QUOTE]
