Final Standings - New NFL Format

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

NFC South and East
1) New Orleans 12-4
2) Tampa Bay 11-5
3) Washington 7-9
4) NY Giants 6-10
5) Dallas 6-10
6) Carolina 5-11
7) Philadelphia 4-11-1
8) Atlanta 4-12

NFC North and West
1) Green Bay 13-3 
2) Seattle 12-4
3) LA Rams 10-6
4) Chicago 8-8
5) Arizona 8-8
6) Minnesota 7-9
7) San Francisco 6-10
8) Detroit 5-11

The playoff seeding would look like this:
1) GB, 2) NO, 3) Sea, 4) TB, 5) LAR, 6) Chi, 7) Ari.

In the new format, Was would rightfully have missed the playoffs and a team with a better record (in a tougher subdivision) would earn a spot instead.

AFC North and East
1) Buffalo 13-3
2) Pittsburgh 12-4
3) Baltimore 11-5
4) Cleveland 11-5
5) Miami 10-6
6) New England 7-9
7) Cincinnati 4-11-1
8) NY Jets 2-14

AFC South and West
1) Kansas City 14-2
2) Tennessee 11-5
3) Indianapolis 11-5
4) Las Vegas 8-8
5)  LA Chargers 7-9
6) Denver 5-11
7) Houston 4-12
8) Jacksonville 1-15

The playoff seeding would look like this:
1) KC, 2) Buf, 3) Pit, 4) Bal, 5) Cle, 6) Ten, 7) Ind.

The new format would improve seeding. Instead of only Ten and Ind battling for the 4th seed, the seeding would've been wide up down the stretch. Tie-breakers involved head-to-head among the four 11-5 teams. Bal had the best record against the other three, so they would rightfully deserve the best seed of the lot, and a home game in the playoffs.
