From my perspective, it just takes away some of the luster of being a playoff team, since 3/8 of the league makes the playoffs. I like the rarity of playoff appearances in baseball. Don't many of the teams sell out all their games in advance? Maybe that's not the case in some markets, but it seems to be the case in the midwest (well, maybe not Detroit so much) Yeah, that’s a good point.

It's more cities rooting at the end of the season and more tickets sold. I don't think you'd get by with the 8 playoff format. I think the NFL likes having more teams in the races.

I propose that the Bears and Packers be eliminated :) My suggestion would be to split into four divisions of eight teams each. Within each conference (two divisions make up a conference) the division winners and two wild cards make the playoffs. That's eight total teams. I think twelve playoffs teams is a bit much.

That was the whole reason why the NFL went to the current alignment. There are 32 NFL teams–how do you divide that into six divisions?

I don't know anyone else who has won 18 from the start of the season. I suppose I could be a coach who got fired this morning after having burnt all his bridges around the league by being a rat. I hope he put a lot of money in a nice safe CD. I will take an 18-0 team playing in the Super Bowl any day of the week. I don’t know anyone else who has won 18 from the start of the season.
