I am mixed on this. Since they went with the 4 division set in each conference, that is 4 automatic seeds for winning your division regardless of record. So if you have 3 bubble teams at say 10-6 or 9-7 but the worst division winner is 8-8 I do not believe that this is fair that they get in for being the winner of a shitty division. I think we leave it at 6, and the top 6 teams go no matter the division in each conferece, or they should consider expansion.

Given that a #6 seed just won the Super Bowl (beating both #1s, a #2, and a #3 on the way) it's hard to argue that teams just on the outside of the bubble don't deserve to be in contention.  Had KC won one more game, this year's Super Bowl winner wouldn't have even qualified for the postseason.  That's a pretty fine line.

Yeah, but keep in mind that most years, you don't have #6 seeds as capable and physical as this year's Pittsburgh Steelers.  Pittsburgh winning the Super Bowl as a #6 seed is clearly the exception, not the rule.

In essence yes. Top 6 teams make it, I wouldn't mind that at all!!!!!
