The Broncos won? Damn, I went to bed too early.

Oh hold your horses, we still have 5 games to go. On top now does not mean on top at the end. A good bulk of our final games are divisional, two of them are both the Cowboys games.

Do I really need to add a "if the playoffs were starting today" kind of disclaimer? Don't count your chickens, yeah, but your team's destiny is in their own hands, and that's a damn good place to be, even if it is with a lackluster record on top of a shitty division.

I'm happy for Brian, but I think any division winner that doesn't have a winning record should forfeit their playoff spot.
On that note, I think it's time to revamp the NFL divisions and schedule. I propose four 8-team divisions with the same divisional round robin. That would give us 14 games. The powers that be and the fans wouldn't want to revert to a 14 game schedule; last seen in 1977. I propose getting rid of the bye week and going to a 17 game schedule; the NFL has long been proposing an 18 game schedule so it's a sort of compromise (the players' union will have something to say). Each team will play the same positioned team from the other divisions based on the previous year's standings to make up the additional three games. Proposed divisions: East: New England Jets Giants Buffalo Washington Philadelphia Baltimore Carolina Midwest: Pittsburgh Cincinnati Cleveland Detroit Chicago Green Bay Minnesota Indianapolis South: Dallas Houston New Orleans Atlanta Tampa Bay Miami Jacksonville Tennessee West: Oakland San Francisco San Diego Denver Kansas City St. Louis Arizona Seattle The only big rivalry I see this fucking up is Dallas/Washington; they'll just have to take one for the team. Besides, rivalries come and go (anybody else remember how heated the Jets/Dolphins were in the 80s?). If you're a Skins fan, imagine the instant rivalry playing Baltimore twice a year. Dallas can get it on with Houston and New Orleans. When Jacksonville moves its franchise to London we can swap them with Carolina. I'm a purist at heart so I would only want to see a playoff with division winners, but the business end of the NFL makes this a pipe dream. That considered, I recommend the top two teams from each division. Division winners get first round home field advantage. Second placed teams are seeded and matched up in strict accordance with record and requisite tie-breakers. I forgot to mention that under the new system we can dispense with the useless conference structure. Makes sense to me (now I sound like Larry Culpepper). What do you think? 
I'm from San Diego, and it really looks like they're fleeing to L.A. The big question is, will Oakland leave and become the San Diego Raiders? Will they be replaced by anybody? I thought I heard the Rams wanted to move, too.
Other than that, I think your revised alignments are fascinating. The Charger sitch could be its own thread, tbh, but very few people on here are from San Diego, or even care about San Diego.
