I mean look, College, Pros … football … basketball … lawn darts … whatever … every team that had a long layoff came out flat nay, got beat. Latest example is them Commanders aka Redskins … they made Detroit look foolish. Commanders are a VERY good team though.
Thusly, no byes in playoffs anymore. 16 team playoff in College. Everybody starts at once. Who plays who based on rankings.
