Playoffs work for them.
And don't bring up what happened to my beloved Yankees in the playoffs the last few years....

I generally like playoffs. I just don't they'll solve the problems as completely as the proponents claim or would like.
No matter what practical number you chose, someone is going to feel that were unfairly left out. A lot will whine about the seeding....just like basketball. How many times, due to the bracket ordering, has the "real" championship game been in the semis...you know...the two teams people really think are the best?
Football is just more likely to have more upsets than basketball due to the few number of scores in any given game.
No worry on the Yankees front, I couldn't care less about them or baseball.
