AFC East
New England 9-2
New York Jets 9-2
New York Giants 7-4
Buffalo Bills 2-9
AFC West
Atlanta Falcons 9-2
Indianapolis Colts 6-5
Tennessee Titans 5-6
Cincinnati Bengals 2-9
AFC South
Tampa Bay Bucs 7-4
Miami Dolphins 6-5
Jacksonville Jaguars 6-5
Carolina Panthers 1-10
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens 8-3
Pittsburgh Steelers 8-3
Philadelphia Eagles 7-4
Washington Redskins 5-6
Cleveland Browns 4-7
Rules 1) Top 4 Seeds Best Record (regardless of division)
2) Division Winners Must be at Worst #8 Seed
Higher seed home field
Top 6 seeds get a bye week
indents equal a change of week
Thus the bracket would look like this..
#9 Miami
#10 Jacksonville #1 New England vs 9/10 #1 NE #5 PIT
#4 Baltimore Ravens
#5 Pittsburgh Steelers #5PIT
8 Tampa Bay #2 Atlanta Falcons vs 7/8 #2ATL #2 ATL
7 New York Giants
#3 New York Jets
#6 Philadelphia Eagles #6 PHI
...looks like it would end up Pittsburgh versus ATL or NE vs ATL. A couple of interesting matchups including BAL vs PIT, NE vs PIT, ATL vs PHI (Vick playing @ ATL), battle of PHI and NYJ (New York/PHI too big markets), FLA battle (Mia vs Jac....does anyone care tho? Not sure.), and maybe ending where we started with a rematch of week one but with PIT @ ATL this time. Please also note this is "geographically savvy" never going past the state of Indiana...the true 'East Coast' and AFC Conference!! And the #1 seed in NE would get their "second bye week" by playing MIA or JAC so they are still happy and in this case it also provides more competition for the bottom half of the bracket (because this would be a strong playoff and the deserving champion of the AFC).
-if you didn't notice the HORSE (Colts) would not be in this playoff..never go west of Pennsylvania!..wow!
