Quote:There will only be one team in each conference getting the bye week in the playoffs, under the new system, should it happen, IIRC. 

 

 

I remember when there used to be as many as 3 teams earning bye weeks. Winning the division earned you a bye week back in the 80's...

 

The 80's were yet again the golden age of something else 
 

 Sadly,  it's becoming a distant memory.  

 

 Once there are complaints that a # 1 seed gets a bye because they are in a week division,  the call will go up to expand the playoffs to 8 teams per conference,  eliminating byes.   It's as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
