And that's what we were responding to, your made up scenario. There's no reason to change the format because of your made up scenario, which while hypothetically could happen, is extremely unlikely to ever happen.The made up scenario was an extreme example.... regardless, a 12 win team shouldn't travel to an 8 win team... or an 11 win team travel to a 7 win team... winning the division ensures you make the playoffs, but it should not ensure a higher seed when your record sucks... I stand by that and I always will ... Even when the Saints had to travel to Seattle when we were 7-9 it felt wrong... I said it then, I'll say it now....
But like myself and others are saying, if that 12 win wild card team is truly better than an 8 win division winner, beating them on the road shouldn't be a problem.
The goal is to win the division: if you can't do that, your path to the Super Bowl should be much harder.
