Basically leaving the two games based on last years standings to more or less shape how the Division ended up.
For example New England is 7-1 against the AFC West and NFC West, 3-2 in their Divsion and 0-2 on the strength of schedule games Steelers and Colts.
Miami is 7-1 against the West teams, 3-2 in the Division and 0-2 on the strength of schedule games (Ravens and Texans)
The Jets shat the bed posting a 4-4 record against the West, but have a 4-1 Division record and also a 2-0 record in the strength of schedule games against the Titans and Bengals. Realisitically the Jets stand to lose the Division because of how poorly they played against the West teams...not how they played inside their Division.

I'm not sure what you are arguing here. What point are you getting at?
