I completely agree that there is a huge gap between the 1st 7-8 and the next 6-8 teams even if the 1st round games were played on neutral field which is what they all should be. That is why I feel the 12 or 16 team playoff is not warranted. The 12th or the 16th best team has no chance of beating a top 3-4 teams so what's the point. I think the playoffs should only include teams that have a legit or semi-legit chance of winning, and that is no more than 8 teams.
