Ok, so here’s a thought on how to fix this process:
- eliminate the conference championship as AQ
- release the final rankings BEFORE the CCGs, since the committee says they won’t penalize teams for playing. Then if you want to to keep the CCGs fine, they would then truly only be for the conference championship and not affect the playoff scenarios.
- top 12/16/24 teams get in. Screw the group of 5 if they can’t get ranked high enough
what are some other solutions?
