I don't disagree with SVP at all. I firmly believe that the thought of starting a season, when the teams you are competing against for a playoff spot are concluding there's, is absolutely ridiculous. We complain year in and year out about how the rankings unfairly affect teams on a bye or how a team that can't make their own conference championship (essentially having a bye week) can seriously slip into the playoff picture, but suddenly by some miracle of God were going to be able to evaluate what a team looks like in game 1 and compare it to a team that's already been playing for two or three months? I just don't see anyway it plays out in which it doesn't play out like an absolutely shit show. I simply don't see how a playoff picture works with staggered start dates.
