They were all 3 games over .500 but it wouldn't have affected the top end of the standings as there are plenty of good teams. I know there are problems with that and there are certainly times where an 8-8 team is better than a 10-6 team, but that doesn't mean the 8-8 team should be hosting a playoff game either.
Division winners make the playoffs, but shouldn't automatically host a playoff game either. That is what I'm getting at. I do think seeding by record, by and large, will work out better in the long run than the current system. I mean last year 12-4 San Francisco beat 8-7-1 Green Bay in the regular season and then had to go to Lambeau in the playoffs and win again. 11-5 New Orleans had to go to 10-6 Philadelphia in the playoffs. Now granted the road team won those games, but they shouldn't have had to be the road team.
Maybe you keep the seeding the same, but if the road team is 2 games or more better it gets to host the game. So this year Atlanta is still the 4 seed and Seattle is still the 5 seed, but the game is played in Seattle as a result of the difference in record. That might be a functional compromise.
