I tend to agree. Nothing wrong with the current system. Whilst it might benefit us at some point, as you say you could be wholly mediocre in 8th or 9th place and end up going up ahead of 3rd or 4th place. The conference playoffs are worse. Often the 2nd side is 20 points head of the last playoff place.
Yes it's down to that side to win the playoffs but in one off games anything can happen. A league is a test across the season and the better sides finish higher, whereas the best side won't always win a cup.
Plus it's more games to play (which is presumably why they are doing it to get more revenue) in an already overloaded fixture schedule.
