Should the NFL change its playoff format?

The Patriots andd the Colts look like the two best teams in the NFL but because they are both in the AFC they can not play each other in the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl will probably be either of those two team and an inferior NFC team.

This makes for a bad Super Bowl.

Update:

I dont think anyone gets it. The Super Bowl should be the two best teams in the NFL. Not the Best playing against 3rd, 4th or 5th best.

When the two best teams play in a conference title game it takes away from the NFL and the Super Bowl.

    No. It is a cycle. Look at how long the NFC was the best league. They 12-13 super bowls in a row from. When the money is not there in the AFC the talent will go where it is in the NFC.

    Uhh......no thats what a AFC championship is for. You wouldnt think it but winning your conference championship is a big deal. In the superbowl anything can happen dont count the NFC out so fast. Any team is one injury away from a lose.

    I think it would be cool to switch up the divisons every 8-10 years or so.

    The only real problem that I see with it is that a 13-3 Wild Card team would have to go on the road to play a 9-7 Division Winner in the playoffs.

    What do you want it to be like? The College Poll system?

    The AFC does have 3 of the top 5 teams, but that just means the NFC has to try harder to beat them.

    It's the same with the MLB also Both of the best two teams are in the AL with a weak NL... But I think they should leave it the same because anyone can beat anyone on any given day that is what makes the sport so good...

    I say why fix it if it's not broken...

    No, I think it is fine. I honestly enjoy the NFC/AFC Championships more dramatic/exciting than the Superbowl because teams have more of a rivalry and more drama between them. Cheers!

    A Colts-Dallas Super Bowl would be fine with me

    No, then you lose the entire AFC -vs- NFC rivalry thing for the SB.

    Tell that to the Patriots when they beat the Rams and everyone thought they were going to get killed. There is nothing wrong with the way it is.
