First, a confession. When I originally came up with this, I was dead set that only the top four in each group would advance. Part of me is tempted to expand that to the top six, or maybe even top eight. I haven't decided for sure yet, and yeah, it's weird mid-tournament to make that change, but part of me feels like it will be necessary. And hopefully you'll have enough faith in me to feel like it won't be predicated on the 2016 Chicago Cubs not making it under a top four system. Also hopefully, they won't be in a position where it comes to that.
Potential bias aside, I like where we're at two weeks in. There's a lot of balance in this tournament, everyone has won at least two games out of their 12 so far, and we'll have some interesting races as the tournament rolls on with or without postseason expansion.
