If other sports suck, why do you watch them?

Delaying the progression of the playoffs to watch 2 mediocre teams w/mediocre records battle it out to cheer "We're #6!" is asinine to me. When only league or division winners got to play in the postseason it made sense. If a club can't solidify themselves in the top 40% of their half of the league, I don't feel sorry for their imminent vacations. They were fortunate to still have meaningful games past summer.
