Luck has lots to do with scheduling even with a "balanced" schedule. Injury luck, weather luck, timing in the season luck etc...This whole argument started because I said the 7th seed was terrible and adding it accomplished nothing, but that was purely from a fan perspective. It, of course, made the NFL more money, so it will never change to anything but an 8th seed, 9th seed etc... We just have to accept it, it was tough most years to argue there were 12 "deserving" teams, it'll be impossible most years to justify 16, but we'll all be watching when it happens, which is why it's a guarantee that it will.
