The premise is that it could ...you just might have a better record because your division was easier or your schedule was lighter.

I want to see the division winners in the playoffs... Wild Card spots are nothing more than a money grab.

But in this proposal, division winners WOULD be in the playoffs.

The NFL is all about wins and losses though, and the standings is what is used to determine who the best teams are. If you have a better record than a division winner, for all intents and purposes, you are considered the superior team.

Just because you happen to be in the wrong grouping of four teams doesn’t make you a lesser team.
