Well, 'cause there won't be 4 other teams. The divisions have been <a href=http://www.nfl.com/news/2001/realignment.html>realigned</a> this year. There are now 4 divisions of 4 teams each in each of the 2 conferences. So, that's 8 first place teams as opposed to last season's 6+4 wildcards. If there are 4 wildcard teams again this year there will need to be another playoff game or eliminate a wildcard spot from each conference.
Big brown... what?
