Or just give that to the 1st place team - in reality winning the table should be rewarded more. Especially in soccer where historically there isn't a playoff in most reputable leagues anyways.
1st Place Team: Bye to the Finals
2 vs 5
3 vs 4
The only problem is in a league dependent on gate revenue the 1st place team might want the revenue from the extra game.
