No Changes Coming to NFL Playoff Seeding System


The NFL Competition Committee is proposing changes to kickoffs, but will not be proposing changes to the playoff seeding system.

Even before the Seattle Seahawks won the NFC West with a 7-9 record, and then beat the 11-5 New Orleans Saints in Qwest Field, there was a sense that the NFL would re-seed the playoffs in a manner that would stop granting home games to playoff teams on the basis of winning their division.

Mac's Football Blog vehemently opposed any such changes, referring to the situation as an anomaly the league shouldn't overreact to, and that it failed to gain much support for even a proposal shows that this issue should be scuttled for good.
