Actually to me this is the exact reason why we should go back to Divisional playoff formats. Why is this a great rivalry? Because they have played each other a few times recently in the playoffs; with both teams having won series.
So if a good rivalry is based on teams repeatedly playing each other in the playoffs; then why not go back to the system that breeds those rivalries?
