I'm not sure Arizona misses out. They're a pretty good team that has packed it in the last month since they're so far ahead. If you took the best 6 teams overall regardless of division I think you'd still see a 7-3 Arizona team in the playoffs.
I like the idea of giving the division winner a berth but not automatically home field.
To have both West division this weak is pretty rare. Over time everything balances out. Next year I think the AFC East plays the AFC South and NFC South so it'll be tougher. Pittsburgh gets AFC West and NFC North? so I think it'll be much easier..
