Replying To Whammo86:  "Honestly I think it isn't just about Provincial or local rivalries. I think the excitement is from good games being played."
Group 1: Donegal, Mayo, Tyrone, Cork.
Group 2: Kerry, Dublin, Roscommon, Meath.
Group 3: Louth, Monaghan, Cavan, Clare.
Group 4: Galway, Armagh, Derry, Down.
In the current setup, if provincial runners up were seeded based on league, the groups might be more balanced.
All you'd want then is top 2 only going through and the round 1 winners playing each other in round 2.
Provincial runners up could still be in different groups and the 8 finalists given 2 home games as some incentive for making provincial finalists.
Again I'm not in favour of rewarding runners up but it doesn't seem up for discussion.
