It would be a head scratcher no doubt, but I also believe that's based on the precedent that we KNOW that the divisional winner is also the one with the best record regardless. Hell, I'd be all for a tournament at the end of the season with the first seed playing the fourth. It would give us some more football at the end of the year.
