Huh? Every year, the Super Bowl could be a matchup of two wild card teams. It hasn't happened because the better teams usually win. So what you're hypothesizing is that an extremely unlikely outcome might reduce TV contract rights, so the whole proposition is a bad idea.
And if the NFL did it like the BCS, last year the Patriots would have played the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. Packers fans would have been bitching that they had just as good a record, and shouldn't have the road loss against the Cowboys, without Brett Favre, count against them. Meanwhile, the Giants would have played in Memphis against the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks before the Super Bowl, in a game attended by ncs, but not Mr. Man, and a few other diehards. Meanwhile, the Bills and Saints would be playing as well, somewhere, on ESPN2.
