best way to keep from having division winners from having worse records than the wildcard teams is to eliminate divisions not adding them.
We went from 3 to 4 divisions & then added another playoff spot. It was much harder to do when we were at 3 divisions.
Make each Conference have only 2 divisions One have West/East divisions & the other North/South division. or something like that. But even then. The possibility is always there. But less divisions would make it most likely the top 7 teams make the playoffs. We are talking who host a playoff game but imagine having a better record than some team & miss the playoffs while the other team makes it.
None of this matters because they will never eliminate divisions, but just saying.
More teams won’t purposefully kick it through the end zone for the touchback would be their thought.That doesn’t make sense, why would giving a team five extra yards after a touchback increase returns? Unless I’m missing something that just makes no sense at all.
If they want fewer touchbacks, why don't they move the kickoff position back to the 30, like it used to be - when they wanted fewer touchbacks.
