I don't think anyone minds a little controversy. Controversy sells. A 4 game playoff is better because it allows 2 more out of conference games to better determine who the top 2 are. There are so few meaningful out of conference games, that the ranking really are just guesses. I think it is great that teams that are in a weaker conference, or happen to play a weak schedule that year may now get a chance to either show they belong or prove that they shouldn't really be there. We would have still likely had the same two teams and the same great game in the finals even with a playoff this year, so where is the downside?
