       Placing toughness of schedule ahead of head-to-head
       competition in tie breaking procedures would not	only
       undermind the integrity of the divisional structures, but
       also put	less importance	on the classic divisional rivalries
       that make football exciting season after	season for us fans.

       Could you image what would happen to the	game of	football if
       a Denver	vs Tampa Bay game was as important as a	Denver vs
       Raiders game in the mind	of the fans.

       Games like Giants vs Dallas, Miami vs Jets (had to throw
       that in), Raiders vs Denver, etc. are what football is all
       about. To place less emphasis on	divisional games would
       clearly be a step in the	wrong direction.
