When BASS first came out with the postseason idea, I was against it. I felt like the winner of the regular season should be AOY. Then, I started thinking about it a little more and realized we need the postseason. Any other sport has a postseason that is for the championship, why should bass fishing be any different. In the NFL playoffs, once in, anyone can win the Super Bowl. If bass fishing wants to be thought of like a sport, we should play the game like the other sports. The first leg of the postseason ended today and Skeet Reese is still leading the race but the standings are definitely different. Russ Lane won the event and moved up quite a bit.
Here are the unofficial standings after Lake Jordan:
1st (1st) Skeet Reese, Auburn , Calif.
2nd (9th) Russ Lane , Prattville , Ala.
3rd (4th) Kevin VanDam, Kalamazoo , Mich.
4th (9th) Aaron Martens, Leeds , Ala.
5th (2nd) Edwin Evers, Talala , Okla.
6th (9th) Greg Hackney, Gonzales , La.
7th (3rd) Cliff Pace, Petal, Miss. 212
8th (6th) Terry Butcher, Talala , Okla.
9th (9th) Gary Klein, Weatherford , Texas
10th (8th) John Crews, Salem , Va.
11th (4th) Derek Remitz, Grant , Ala.
12th (7th) Tommy Biffle, Wagoner, Okla.

The Bassmasters Classic is the Post-Season/Playoff/Championship. They should have left it the way it was.
That's the feeling I get from most people, I kinda like the new format though. Makes it more interesting.
