NFL's New Format Final Standings

If the NFL moved back to two divisions per conference, we would get fairer and more exciting playoff games.

NFC South and East
1) Dallas 12-4
2) Philadelphia 10-6
3) Carolina 7-8-1
4) New Orleans 7-9
5) NY Giants 6-10
6) Atlanta 6-10
7) Washington 4-12
8) Tampa Bay 2-14

NFC North and West
1) Seattle 12-4
2) Green Bay 12-4
3) Arizona 11-5
4) Detroit 11-5
5) San Francisco 8-8
6) Minnesota 7-9
7) St. Louis 6-10
8) Chicago 5-11

The playoff seeding would look like this:
1) Sea; 2) Dal; 3) GB; 4) Ari; 5) Det; 6) Phi.

The Wildcard round would look like this:
6) Phi 10-6 vs. 3) GB 12-4; 4) Ari 11-5 vs. 5) Det 11-5.
instead of:
6) Det 11-5 vs. 3) Dal 12-4; 4) Car 7-8-1 vs. Ari 11-5.

AFC North and East
1) New England 12-4
2) Pittsburgh 11-5
3) Cincinnati 10-5-1
4) Baltimore 10-6
5) Buffalo 9-7
6) Miami 8-8

1) Denver 12-4

3) Houston 9-7
4) Kansas City 9-7
5) San Diego 9-7
6) Jacksonville 3-13
7) Oakland 3-13
8) Tennessee 2-14
Playoff seedings and matchup would be the same.
