HFBoards - View Single Post - A reasoning to support a Wildcard Playoff Play-in with 8-team Conferences

A better solution...

have divisions that are effectively conferences DURING THE SEASON
FOR THE PLAYOFFS have
- a western conference (Campbell?)
  - Pacific division with 7 teams
  - Central division with 8 teams
- an eastern conference (Wales?)
  - Atlantic division (7 or 8 teams)
  - Northeast division (7 or 8 teams; not the same number as Atlantic)
top 3 from each division qualify for playoffs
from the teams that did not make top-3-seed, the 2 highest-ranking teams in western conference will be seeded 7 and 8 in the west.
ditto for eastern conference
