Don't give me the Frenzy league BS.

My bad for missing this earlier, but there is no way in hell I will be playing in this league next year if this rule doesn't change in the off season. This is a ridiculous way to punish teams. If you are worried about TIES there are hundreds of ways that would be better than this.
I don't see the big deal.

In the Frenzy, I'm in your exact same shoes. Highest scoring team, 2nd best record, :Bla.

Thems the breaks. It's an edge to the higher seeds. They earned it by winning more than you. They get the edge to make the lower seeds truly earn a bowl berth, and reduce the chance of a fluke team winning it all over a team that was better for most of the season. If you're good enough, you'll overcome it.

If you think 7 points is bad, you should see my local league, the higher seeds get a 10pt edge in the 1st 2 rounds, with essentially the same scoring system.
