Quote:

you are using the NFL as justification,but more sports use a normal tournament format.



Professional baseball, basketball and hockey reseed. College football playoffs (not BCS) reseed.

What are the "more sports" that determine the champion without reseeding. Not a tournament, but the actual league champion. You've named one (NCAA Divison 1A Basketball).

But to make it clear, in terms of determining a state champion, I think reseeding is irrelevant. You beat everyone you play and you are state champion. You don't beat everyone and you shouldn't be state champion.

However, I think for properly determining PL representatives of the state (and to best represent the state), reseeding is important to get the best two representatives. Every team still has an equal chance to earn a PL berth, but that equal chance is determined over the entire season, not just based on the initial seedings.
