Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 2827942, member: 237"] Here is a thought. Top 2 overall teams in each conference, meaning every conference play for playoff eligibility. This creates a natural playoff in every conference and thus a 24 team playoff. The winner of each conference playoff gains playoff eligibility. Expand the playoff to 6 teams. Two teams get a bye and four teams play in a wild card like setup ( using two more bowl games of the NY6) and winners meet the bye seeds in the semis and then everything goes as it does now. The choice of the 6 teams is handled the same as it 4 are now except the list of eligible teams is already determined. An Independent playoff also is part of the conference playoff. That would probably be tricky to work out but if conferences eliminate divisions if could possibly work. This also takes away having two teams in the playoff from the same conference each year thus a six team "super bowl series". [/QUOTE]
