[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 535424, member: 1989"] So, you are saying that a 2nd place team should host a 1st place team? Or should fans be allowed to arrange how teams are positioned within the NFL brackets? Should NFC teams be mixed and matched with AFC teams prior to the Super Bowl? Why not just take the top 12 teams in the NFL and have #12 face #1, #11 face #2, etc.? If you wish to ignore the North/South/East/West standings, why would you not also ignore the division between the AFC and NFC? Just pile them all together into one standing... Also, one could then argue that the win-loss record should be weighted based upon strength of schedule. For example, the Patriots and Broncos have had three divisional opponents who have been relatively "light weight" for the past many years. Should those six games (likely victories) be given as much weight as the NFC East which historically has had several contenders (not this year though)? Or should the NFL just consider the win-loss record in December? Is that what really defines the "Top 6" teams? I mean, who cares who won or lost back in September? The Texans started 2-0 while the Panthers started 0-2... To use your NBA analogy, everyone knows only the 4th quarter matters, right? Why not just use the last fourth of the season? Packers went 3-1. Just messing with you. I think we just disagree on this. I like the NFL rules on playoff seeding and you don't. Fair enough. Last comment: I guess that the reason it is the way it is.... is because the NFL owners want home games to happen [U]across[/U] the country. To maximize regional interest and (ultimately) revenue. For example, of the eight scheduled games over the next two weeks, three are on the East coast (north, mid, and southern), three are mid-west (all north), one mountain (Denver), and one on the west coast. That's fairly good coverage of our country (read: $$$). [/QUOTE]
