for a team to go 11-5 and not be able to play for it all and a 7-9/8-8 can... that's just stupid isn't it?

I think what they should fix is the rankings once teams make it into the playoffs. For instance, no one can predict how good or bad a particular division or conference is going to be each year. Last year the NFC sucked, and a lot of teams were alive right up until the last week, I think this year it was the AFC that sucked a bit. Teams should be reward for winning their conference, however, I do think rankings after playoff teams are determined should be re-ordered by record, so wildcard teams with better records than division winners would have a home game.
