In the NBA I think so for sure, but specifically for this thread I'm asking about the NFL.
Besides scheduling and a few rivalries, what would it hurt? I'm looking in the NFC right now and one of either the 49ers, Saints or Cardinals will miss the playoffs, while a team from the NFCN will go in despite being quintessentially mediocre...Same for the NFCE, for that matter.
Sure, it might provide excitement IF the Packers make it and IF Rodgers gets back, but just as the NCAA is working towards making sure they have the absolute best crowned as Champions, shouldn't the NFL make sure that its playoffs are with the 6 best teams from each conference?
