You get to play in the playoffs. Shouldn't that be enough?

It's just watering down the importance of winning your division.

Which as a result waters down division rivalries.

If you don't win your division but still get in as a wild card isn't that enough?

It's not watering it down. You still get in. No 7-9 team should be hosting an 11-5 team.

How is it not watering it down? The importance of winning you division reduces significantly.

All games become equal because even if you're second in your division you can host a playoff game.

Rivalries would instantly diminish.
