The whole system is broken and stupid. Playoff appearances and rankings should be based solely on record. No team with a losing record should EVER make the playoffs if there are better teams that are sitting home because they play against decent competition. And while I chuckle at the idea of Tom Terrific and his merry band of bought off ref$ playing on the road against the former Deadskins, I haven't chuckled in the past when the Chiefs sat home with a better record than some doormat division winner, and that's happened more than once.
It's wrong. It's stupid. It's backwards. It's like daylight savings time; everybody hates it, but nobody does anything to change it. And I can't remember hearing an announcer, player, coach or talking studio head complain about it, which is also nuts.
