A of people were dismayed the a 7-9 team made the playoff & received a home field advantage. I like the NFL's rules for determining  which teams are playoff eligible to make the playoffs. This system has kept the maximum number of teams in the hunt for a playoff spot, which is great for fans and thus good for the NFL. What I do disagree with is the seeding of the six teams.I could write a 3 page paper on this but I won't, No way should a7-9 team  be a higher seed than NO or GB (but in certain circumstances they could).  OK,  according to NFL rules, the following teams were playoff eligible in the NFC, SEA, GB,CHI, PHI,NO,ATL. My solutions:Seeded by strength of schedule, Resulting seeding:1) Green Bay2) Chicago3) Philadelphia4)Atlanta5)New Orleans6) SeattleA second argument can be made using something called SRS. Resulting seeding:1) Green Bay2) Atlanta3) Philadelphia4)Chicago5) New Orleans6) Seattle<a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/" target="_blank">Pro-Football-Reference.com - Pro Football Statistics and History</a>Click on STS and you will get a masters degree in mathematics. Thanks for bringing up the topic.EDIT: I picked these methods using logic. I had no idea Green Bay would end up the #1 seed.</blockquote>
