That's what I think we need to fix. Give the 1 seed home field vs. the 4 seed and guarentee a playoff berth to the division winners, but seed the teams based on overall record. (meaning the wild card could earn the 2 seed and home field for their 1st game, which would have happened each of the past 3 years).

I'd be okay with this. One thing to keep in mind... it coud make a difference if one division had only two strong teams and both sailed to a good final record. Whereas in another division with 3+ strong teams, they could beat each up... and leave both with only a marginal record. Just saying that overall record isn't always the best indicator of strength.

Should I also point out that the last 3 Frenzy Bowls were won by the 4th seeded Wild Card Team?

Or that a Wild Card team has won 4 of 5 Frenzy Bowls (Frank won Frenzy Bowl I as the 5th seed)? The only Bowl won by a division winner, was ironically by the 3rd Seeded Jersey Toxic Waste in 2002... and they finished the regular season at 7-7!

P.S. Frank, you're looking golden for your 2nd title!
