Brainstorming

I am debating between a couple of different ideas for the paper. I'd like to write about revising the NFL playoff rankings, but this isn't a "real world" problem so I'm not sure if it is going to be an issue that is important enough to the class. I would address the fact that even if the NFC West has a division winner this year, the East is more likely to have stronger teams. So should the West send a team with a worse record to the playoffs? I could also write about Direct Access for physical therapy, which addresses the issue of not needing a prescription to go see a physical therapist, but being able to visit if you feel like you need to. Since a Physical Therapist is technically a doctor who does and evaluation and diagnosis, I don't really see why this is such a huge issue.
