Here's what I say: if you can't get over .500, you shouldn't be guaranteed a home game. In other words: I'd seed wild cards above any 8-8 teams or below, but that's about it.

You can probably safely say that no team has ever won a Super Bowl who had a mediocre division record..win the Division,enuff said

This doesn't solve all problems. There was still the possibility that the Pats and Jets end up 13-3 with 5-1 division records (above mediocre) and still get seeded lower than the Jaguars or Chiefs.

Oddly enough I think your argument actually strengthens the other side.

Think about this, imagine the Rams get into the playoffs at 7-9. If that is the case, then the other three teams in the division will be 7-9 or worse. Therefore, the other teams in the division are crap. Most likely, at least 4 of the 7 wins will be against the division (which remember is all crap).

So a team with a below 0.500 record makes it to the playoffs with its victories being against other crap teams. Doesn't sound like a playoff worthy team to me.


Below is a list the division leading Rams have beaten to earn their 6-7 record.....

vs. WAS 5-8
vs. SEA 6-7
vs. SD 7-6
vs. CAR 1-12
vs. DEN 3-10
vs. ARI 4-9

Oh, and they've been outscored by their opponents this season. They don't sound very playoff worthy to me.
