With the recent discussions about weak divisions and their winners I had a thought about season record being your first determining factor in seedings.
As in a wild card team could take spots 2-4 if they had a better record than the division winners.
It seems to not be very common at all, last year the Chargers would have had the 2 seed.
I think its worth a discussion though. The teams that win the division would be guaranteed a playoff spot , however only the actual two top teams would get the 1 and 2 seeds.
Rewarding the tougher divisions who might have that happen while penalizing weaker divisions by requiring them to possibly play an extra playoff game by missing the chance at the bye.
