Quote:Using that logic, the 12 best teams should get in regardless of their divisions. There would be no need for either divisions or conferences if the NFL did that. Then who plays in the Super Bowl?

 

Quit using strawmen and hyperboles.

 

Do you follow any sport besides the NFL? The NHL and NBA both have two conferences. East always plays West. It's not hard to wrap your head around.

 

 

I agree that it needs to remain at 12 teams. Home field advantage, though, is suppose to be a reward. a 12-4 team like San Francisco deserves to play at home more than a 8-7-1 Green Bay team. If San Fran was in the NFC North, they get a first round Bye as a 2 seed. If Green Bay was in the NFC West, they don't even make the playoffs. Yet it makes sense to give Green Bay the reward of home field advantage? All you are doing is rewarding teams for playing in crappy divisions.
