To each his own.To me, that is the best part of the whole playoff...you find a way to win your conference based on whatever your conference rule is...and you get to the playoff. I see it as a feature not a bug.
I think it's silly that you can have an average season (4 losses even), but because you're in a weak division, with 1 game you can still make the playoffs & take the place of a team that had a better season, played a tougher schedule, was in a tougher division/conference, etc.
