Regarding the upcoming revised (or not) CONCACAF Qualifying format, there exists a opportunity... If the final Group Round does have two groups, and the two second-place teams then play each other for the automatic 3rd slot, then those two match dates could also be used for something else by other teams. I propose the two first-place teams play each other for the King of CONCACAF! This would be a great opportunity to (most likely) see USA and MEX duke it out for top qualifier in CONCACAF. (In fact, we would know who are #1, #2, #3, and #4 in the confederation.) And while it would be true that both these teams would have already qualified, they do have two things to play for: (1) pride, and (2) perhaps more important, the winner may garner enough extra FIFA Ranking points to earn a World Cup seed! .
