I could get on board with this. I wasnt necessarily arguing about schedule strength, but rather that the best records should make the post season. This is a nice compromise. 6 teams (4 divisional winners and 2 wildcards). Top 2 get a bye; 3-4 based on records get home field for the first round.
It's not that I dont want to see AZ or Den/SD in the playoffs, I just dont think a medicore team like that deserves a home field playoff game.
Same with the NHL where divisional leaders are guaranteed a top 3 in the conference... but I digress.
