There is another reason why they MUST be allowed to play. It creates an unfair advantage for the team that doesn't have an opponent in the tournament, if they just have a bye. There is a reason why the bottom seed plays the top seed and the two top seeds have the byes... It's because they want to make sure that if someone just sneeks into the playoffs, then they should have the toughest road throughout. But the flipside is, for the top seed, they should have the EASIEST road throughout. If you don't allow the bottom seed to play that makes the road significantly harder for the teams that earned the top seed...
But why should a 7-9 division winner get a home game against a 7-9 wild card entrant?
