1985 USFL Season
By Patrick Mondout
The third and final USFL regular season saw the
league reduced from 18 teams to 14 and realignment to just two (Eastern
and Western) conferences with no divisions.
Each conference winner and the runner-up plus the top four remaining
teams qualified for the playoffs.

We have a USFL Forum! Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing
your memories of USFL games you saw,
now-forgotten stadiums, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, or just read what
others are saying.
