In response to Old Bear
If we're going to have this thing, I still like the N+1 format. If the regular-season champ goes undefeated, they get the automatic bid. If they have one loss then they play the second-place team in a one-game playoff at home. If they have two losses then there's a three-team playoff with the champ getting the bye. If the champ has three losses, we have a four-team playoff like the current one. And so on.
This format guarantees that everybody cares about how strong the regular-season leader is and all the fans of the opposing teams root for the leader to lose, which I find satisfying. And when the regular-season champ is a lot better, they get rewarded by not having as hard a path to the auto bid.
