Re: 2007 Chairman's Honorable Mentions.

The downside is that the other 37 teams know that they are already out, and they will be bummed.
I did think of this idea, and discarded it because of the downsides you mention, though in retrospect, I probably should have posted just to throw it out there (thankfully, you did).

Eventually, all other teams besides the winner are going to be let down in some way, shape or form. I still haven't decided if I like the old HM way better, or if I like the idea of Nominee's/Finalists, but it's a starting point.
