I again apologize for being the start of this massive thread.

With that being said, I would have to vote for the expanded playoffs with the lottery.

Looking at my team this year and relating it to the toilet bowl idea, I would have no chance of winning the toilet bowl based on weekly history. (I am considering this in pre trading, but my trades were made SOLELY on setting myself up for next year with my RFA's and such.) My avg score this year (even if you add in the extra 30 pts I would have had if I would have started Parker / Manning / Shockey the last week) would only be around 90 pts a game. My guys had terrible years. Parker was off this year. T Jones didn't perform at all. Boldin was weak. Shockey had moments but disappeared too often. At the same time a could of won 5 doesn't reflect well either !

BUT, in the toilet bowl I would have to play a team like the POPES who scored an avg of 12pts more than me. ( I also really believe if there was a toilet bowl based on WINS, Popes wouldn't have traded Peyton and E. Graham) Again giving the advantage to the "better" team not just taking issues.

I do see valid points in both but I would lean to opening the playoffs up to 6 teams and having a lottery to the bottom 3 teams.
