The whole re-seeding thing is a big over reaction because its happened one year where a sub .500 team won the division. A couple 8-8 teams have made it like Arizona but look what they did. I say leave it as is, its an anomaly and unlikely to happen ever again. The league is very diverse this year I count up to 8 teams in the playoffs with a legitimate shot at the title... just astounding really.

IMO that has nothing to do with why there will be discussion of changing things up. This re-seeding thing isnt about this one blip of a 7-9 team, its about better teams having to travel and not hosting a game.
To me its all about what each team earned during the season, and it would be impossible to argue that the Saints didnt earn more than the Seahawks. Home field isnt just about the players and coaches, its also about the fans. NO fans deserve to see that game in their house as they were, by far, the better team all year.
Again all just my opinion, but after listening to much debate about it, it is the right thing to do IMO. Home field can be an advantage, and in the case of Seattle a huge one, but that ad should be earned and not given because they happened into the weakest division in the history of the league...at least as far as this year is concerned anyhow.
remember...if this was in effect for this year, it wouldnt just affect the Seahawks...it would literally change every single venue this weekend. The Colts would be in NY, the Chiefs would be in Baltimore and the Eagles would be in Lambeau as well.
