AND like you said they WON against the previous year champs no less.

Now 8-8 teams making it don't sit that well with me. I can tolerate it, but it goes back to why I dislike it. It lowers the competitiveness from the regular season. It's wouldn't be that dire to win, but I think I'm still in the middle. More Football playoffs is awesome. I think if a change was made.....just 2 more teams would suffice

They won because of another stupid rule giving division winners home field. I have very little doubt the outcome would have been different had the game been played at the home of the team with the better record.
