Makes sense. Thinking back, that 8 teams solutions was over the top, just for seeding and home field advantage blowing the whole playoffs schedule up didn't make a lot of sense.
The tie option had the advantage of being simple and super easy to understand. I think this option is a good balance of limiting the impact of the non contest in terms of competitive advantage, and not having any dramatic impact on the playoffs schedule/structure.
