Personally, I'd like to see a format where 6 or 8 teams make playoffs, especially since there's a clear divide between the top 8 and bottom 2 at the moment.

Maybe something standard like:

Seed 1
          --------
Seed 8          |
                        --------
Seed 4          |        |
          --------            |
Seed 5                    |
                                  ------- Winner
Seed 2                    |
          --------            |
Seed 7          |        |
                       --------
Seed 3          |
          --------
Seed 6

Or maybe even something with a lower bracket to give each team more games to play?

Wait, has this season's playoffs format even been announced yet?

Everyone makes the playoffs this season so I assume 9 v 10 in a play in series but idk
