The main change I want to see is re-seeding the playoffs based on overall record.

So then a division winner could be left out of the playoffs? Terrible idea. If they went to that format then why not just do away with the divisions?

So an NBA style conference seeding rather than divisional standings? I'd be ok with that as long as the divisional champs got a home game in the 1st round. Otherwise there's really not much benefit to keeping separate divisions, there could just be two conferences.

Just like the old days in the NFL, when there were just two divisions and the division winners faced off for the championship.

And like the NBA and MLB, for some teams the season is over far too soon. I think the NFL's 4-team divisions, with the division champ guaranteed a playoff home game, is a great way to keep most teams in the running for something important.
