I like it because it will make teams that play in a weak division play out the season in order to hold their seed.

If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had played out the season, they would have finished with more wins than the Giants, probably 11 or so. But because they wrapped up the division in Week 15, they only got 9 wins.

That, in turn, changed our position in the draft. This new rule would at least lend more credence to overall record as a measuring stick of how good a team is because only the top two teams in each conference would be resting their players, and that's the way it should be.
