Normally I'm very against rule changes in season, especially this late in the season.
The reasons I'm ok with this being fixed are as follows:
1) No one could see the rule to make sure it was rectified earlier in the season. For example, say you thought there were 8 teams in the playoffs for some reason, when it obviously states 6.
2) The divisions don't mean anything, they were a random filling and you don't necessarily even play teams in your division for the extra games.
3) It should be common sense that the bye goes to the team with a better record.
4) We're a Dynasty league, which means we are playing together for a long time, if this were some cutthroat public ESPN league where you didn't know the people that's one thing (I'd still vote to fix the situation personally, but everyone has an opinion), but we should want it to be fair for everyone. This isn't unfair as this is how it should have been set up in the first place, it was a mistake on the commissioner's part that we ended up in the situation we are in now. I don't say that to be mean, I'm just saying we are playing under a mistake and we should fix it.
