Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the NFL system. With 4 divisions it's inevitable that an 8-8 division winner will host a 13-3 wildcard some day, which would just be retarded. There was 12-4 Jax @ 10-6 NE last year, although it's hard to feel sorry for the Jags since they played a super weak schedule.
Although you wouldn't know it by the Nuggets early exit in the playoffs, their seeding helped them. If they seeded by record they would've played a team better than the Clippers.
