ummmm........
Extremely normal.
Well, if we're talking practically, it's impossible for college football too. But it's still a good idea. I've loved the whole concept of promotion/relegation ever since I first realized it existed.Its too bad that its pretty much impossible to do for anything other than college football, since our minor league teams aren't really independent.
As long as we're spitballing, fun quote from Spurrier this week, though I'm paraphrasing here: "I support the idea of a four team playoff. And when we go to eight teams in five years, I'll support that too." Now obviously, that's just Spurrier being Spurrier, but it's fun to think about how that would work. Clearly, a lot of people feel that wins and losses that occur within a playoff format count for more than wins and losses that occur outside a playoff format, so if we follow Spurrier's speciousness out to a 128 team playoff that's ultimately seven games for the two eventual national title contenders. How many regular season games do you see in that scenario, and would the regular season still be worth watching at that point . . ?
