Looking at 1968 (the last season before divisional play) the fifth place teams in each league had records of 83-79, .512, 20 games out and 81-81, .500, 16 games out. Putting such teams in the playoffs would be NBA-like and gross. I would think the league would want to keep the divisions--perhaps even add three or four--to bury just how inferior some of these playoff teams are.
