   Why does MLB have a No 6 seed in the playoffs?

   • But let’s go with that for now, OK? Why? Because this is the third October in a row, since MLB went to this new playoff format, that a No. 6 seed — by definition the last team into the field in each league – has made it to the League Championship Series, by toppling a No. 2 seed and No. 3 seed in the first two rounds.

   Who gets the top seed in the NFL playoffs?

   • The top seed goes to the club with the best record in the league. Next, the second-best division winner grabs the No. 2 spot, and the third-best division champ lands at No. 3. After them, it’s the Wild Card teams - the best of the rest - taking the No. 4, 5, and 6 seeds. An updated postseason bracket if the postseason started today.

   Do NBA and NHL reseed?

   • But the NBA and NHL don’t reseed, if that means anything. Make the wild cards win an extra game — In Korea, the KBO playoffs start with a Wild Card Series unlike anything we see in America. The two wild-card teams play a “best-of-three” series — but the higher seed starts that series with a 1-0 lead in games.

   What's wrong with the playoff format?

   • The biggest problem with the current playoff format is it lets too many teams in the playoffs. The marathon that is the 162-game schedule lets us know quite well which teams are the top four or six or eight best, but we get to watch 12 teams make it now. Much of the complaining about the playoff format should center around this.

   NFL is the only one to my knowledge that reseeds playoffs. NBA and NHL do not. NHL does a strange conference format too where the Atlantic and Metro teams face off and the winners are in the Eastern finals. Baseball doesn't always have to follow the NFL and just beat the teams in from of them. 2.
