It's interesting to see the comments (well, two of them, anyway)
about how strong the Western Conference West looks, with the 4
Cal. teams plus Seattle. Yes, I noticed right away what a strong
Division this would be, but doesn't it make more sense to pit 
the good teams against each other during the regular season, 
rather than letting them beat up on 1 or 2 patsies? With the
wild card system, you'd still get 3 out of the 5 teams in the
division into the playoffs (witness the AFC West this year).

BTW, someone pointed out that Seattle is probably more than 
1,000 miles from San Diego.
