yah, if we have not been using this rule, and its from 2007, then I agree a new poll would need to be done.

I guess I would use current NFL standings as example..Seahawks and Niners both currently have 10-2 records. Say they both finish 13-3 and Dallas finished 8-8 to win their division. Niners are superior team, but Dallas gets #3 seed only because they lucked out winning a mostly losing record division? Personally I don't think that is fair. I do like the friendly rivalry of division foes, so not really into not having divisions, and can see some merit in rewarding division winners...just not enough for me.
