It does, but it’s mostly to keep the top seeds from getting rusty. They could also make it so every conference champion gets in, then the 6 best teams outside of that get in as well. Their would still be some drama from the 6 who got in, but it should overall work out.
I think the update is happening either way, though probably not to a better system for the fans.
All they really need to do is expand to 16 teams so no team has a bye.
That just adds more bad teams, maybe it solves the not playing in a month.
