[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 473353, member: 5830"] As soon as I read your first sentence, it sounded like the Cup point system. Here is an interesting twist. What if instead of "rewarding" the top teams with a BYE week, you give the #1 and #2 seeds the option of a BYE week. If they don't use it, they can pass their BYE down to the next highest seed. Eventually, if the top four seeds in each conference pass on the BYE week then the #5 and #6 seeds must accept it. It would introduce an interesting strategy for teams. It also doesn't "penalize" teams that would rather keep their momentum going instead of sitting idle for a week. I don't know if many teams would pass up the BYE, but it would make things more interesting if they had the option....much like going for a 2-point PAT. [/QUOTE]
