The problem with changing it up is everyone doesn't play the same schedule. Doing it by division promotes rivalries, but it also compares you to teams with basically the same schedule. Just look at the AFC. The Chiefs and Chargers had to play the NFC West... and now they're sitting behind the Steelers and Ravens, who might end up getting the WC spots because they got to beat the crap out of the NFC South.
No one is going to question that because though. That's why you have to give divisions some weight.

Except that Pittsburgh didn't beat up on the NFCS.
They went 2-2.
