The description of the option voted on is pretty specific:
"Basically seeds 2 3 and 4 would look at records. Winning your division would not guarentee you a 2 or 3 seed (no should it)" |
In that instance, 15 years ago there were only 4 playoff teams, 3 division winners, 1 wild card, and no byes. Hardly a relevant comparable IMO. This vote allowed a WC to be seeded as high as 2, but again there was no bye and division winner won the tie (since it was impossible to be a WC without losing the division).
A vote regarding seeding for 4 teams with NO bye is NOT the same as seeding 6 teams with 2 byes for the top 2 seeds. I don't consider this precedence whatsoever.
