So with that said, basically it's the team with the most overall wins that wins the division which now lets you argue against the way the current seeding is done in my opinion.

WOW, I didn't see that. Now I have to rethink my whole view on this subject.

I still feel the system isn't broke at all and it encourages teams to go out and win every game not just those six.

With this logic Raiders should be complaining like mad, for them the system is broke. Technically the Raiders should be the Division Champs and should represent their division.
