Re-alignment issues aside, I'm curious how they will justify the 7 division teams having a better shot of making it into the top 4 than the 8 division teams.
Why not just take the top 2 or top 3 from each division and have the remaining 4 or 2 spots be "wild cards" for the remaining best records within the conference?
