In my opinion, home field playoff games are a reward for taking care of business in the regular season. Why do we need to "even the playing field" in the playoffs? The team playing at home has done what they needed to do and earned those extra games at home.

So the kids playing for the other teams haven’t taken care of business to that point? The RPI is meant to put the teams that have beaten a better schedule against teams that have done worse. I just think if teams win the first 2 games, neutral site games would be better. Some of those hauls for those teams are quite substantial. The teams that win their district would still get 1st and 2nd round home games. Just looking for ways to shake playoffs up in the later rounds.

I agree that the drive time for some teams is quite ridiculous. No reason teams should be making 3+ hour one way trips..the RPI also allows teams that have beaten a better schedule to remain at home throughout the playoffs. I should've said home field playoff games are a reward for teams willing to play a tough schedule and taking care of business through that schedule.
