Date: December 8th, 2025 9:29 AM Author: Diverse painfully honest sanctuary french chef i first thought you're on to something. indeed, the major pro sports all have specific names for their title game that is distinguished from the rest of the playoffs -- world series, super bowl, stanley cup finals, nba finals.
but i dont see this as compelling as to why it's called a playoffs vs a playoff. seems like it's just marketing / psychological because purists care about the regular season in cfb and playoffs sounds more destructive to the regular season. |

Is it the NFC playoff and the AFC playoff that combine to make the NFL playoffs? |

Date: December 8th, 2025 9:54 AM Author: Diverse painfully honest sanctuary french chef >Maybe a holdover from the 4 team where it was just one round
4 teams is still two rounds. one could say there's a playoff and a championship game, and not playoffS. but who knows
>Is it the NFC playoff and the AFC playoff that combine to make the NFL playoffs?
yes, this goes back to the NFL and AFL days. but if you apply this to the NBA or NHL, it doesnt work. each conference in the NFL has playoffs and its all playoffs. |

Date: December 8th, 2025 10:13 AM Author: vivacious library the holdover from the four-team era response is compelling. the national championship game was not considered a “round.” the initial conception was a (singular) playoff to make it to that game.

|
Date: December 8th, 2025 10:19 AM Author: Diverse painfully honest sanctuary french chef yeah, when spelled out like this, it becomes more compelling.
the counterargument is still why the NCG isn't a round. the NCG was a still a playoff even under the BCS. |

maybe it's related to the D-fence cheers and such that go on in sport.

Date: December 8th, 2025 10:21 AM Author: blathering rehab selfie It is an anachronism. It was originally one "playoff" before the championship game. It is now multiple rounds of playoffs but the IP has been built up around "playoff" so it's going to stick. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807769&forum_id=2:#49493317) |
