It's either that or do a 7 team playoff in the West with either the top seed getting a bye or forcing the 3, 4 & 5 teams in a double round robin(a home & away game for each team against each opponent) where the top 2 advance into the semifinals.
Option 1
1 bye
2 vs. 7
3 vs. 6
4 vs. 5
or
Option 2
1 vs. 7
2 vs. 6
3 vs. 4 vs. 5 (6 games, 4 for each team)
