I REALLY dislike the idea of byes.  Teams in conferences that don't have a championship 
game could in effect get TWO byes, and the teams that make it to their conference
championship game would have to play in a game that any other teams in the playoffs from 
that conference wouldn't have.  That makes the conference championship game a big negative
IMHO, especially if the losing team makes the playoffs but doesn't get a bye.

If the NCAA basketball tournament is the example of how to do it right, why are they 
changing it?
