1st place v 4th place, 2nd v 3rd in Division playoffs. the winners of these opening games would play for the division crown, and then move on to play the other division winner for the Conference championship.

The NHL used to use this format and it made the divisional rivalries really intense. With a more accurate regional division alignment and having to make it out of the division playoffs, it would make for better league, IMO.

 

Thoughts?

You should play everybody in the league, home and away, thus creating a 62 week regular season with no bye weeks. Then the top two teams play each other in a best of 7 for the SB.(Over the course of a weekend)

I want to be seeing the stadium announcer lining up in the slot by week 43.
