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.
