In the first two years of the playoffs - 1987 & 1988 - the playoffs involved one team from the higher division and three teams from the lower division.

Have always thought that a fairer system would be (based on League 2)

6th v 7th (Home & Away)
Winner plays 5th (Home & Away)
Winner plays 4th at Wembley.

The problem with that is the higher placed clubs have had too long off before they play> Just look what happens when clubs rest players the last couple of matches of the season because they know they're in the play offs and have have nothing left to play for. Very rare they get through.
