I think for the most part the best teams do get into the playoffs and after that it's up to them to beat whomever is across the field. There is sometimes an anomoly like 2011 where a sub .500 Seahawks team got a home game vs the defending champs but hey, maybe the Saints should have worked on their tackling more and Beastquake wouldn't have happened.
I also think that sometimes merely looking at a div winners 9-7 record might be a mistake. There will always be some divisions tougher than others. A team shouldn't be penalized a home game because of tougher competition. (And no, that 2011 example does not apply, of course. Lol.
All in all, the NFL playoff system is really good as it is, imo.
