Teams should be seeded 1 through 6 on the same critera. I have no huge problem with giving an 8-8 division winner a playoff spot..but make them the 6th seed...and don't award them with home games.

I hear you on the home field thing but you would have to do away with the divisions then. There would be no incentive to winning your division if you did not get home field advantage. Because if you had divisions and then reseeded, Miami and Minnesota who won their division would not have had home field advantage because their record was only 1 game worse than Indy and Atl who did not win their division.
I can see your point when talking an 8-8 team compared to a 11-5 team but not when it is only a 1 game difference.
And SD is not your typical 8-8 team. they lost 3 games within the last 30 seconds of those games, 1 against Indy and Caroline both 12-4 teams and got robbed at Denver.
