I watch sports absolutely never, so this whole conference discussion is outside any experience I have. And I'm ok with whatever the group wants to do. I'd just like to ask why it is done this way. Seems like 2 weeks of playoffs mean we play for 8 weeks, and during that time don't necessarily play against every other team. What is the reason why things are set up this way, instead of just setting up a league where there are 9 weeks of play and each team plays once against each other team and the overall standings determine the winners? Just curious.
