This rule came about after a couple years of a division winner having .500 record, while WC team had .750 record. Doesn't happen often, especially now that we have mostly very active owners, so maybe not as good a rule anymore?
But I still feel seeding should be based on record, not just winning your division, especially when you are by far best team in a division, and half your wins are over less than stellar division mates...
Take my division...3 of 4 teams are sub .500..If Tommyknockers had finished 7-7, he would have won the division, but would have had worst record of all playoff teams...you are saying he should have gotten #3 seed ahead of two other 9-5 teams?
I can see argument for 1 and 2 seeds, since a bye week is at stake. But for seeds 3-6, not sure it matters where you seed other than which opponent you play. Any given Sunday!!
