If strictly division-winners made playoffs, '69-present

[74_75_78_79_]

Beginning with Jets automatically playing at Oakland for that final AFL Championship (2nd-place Chiefs - out), what playoff scenarios in any given year(s) would intrigue you the most?

From '70-thru-'74, we'll assume that division-winners would have 'rotated' yearly for a 1st-Rd bye hence hosting their CC (e.g. '72 Oak@Mia-winner at Pit for AFCC; '73 LA@Min-winner at Dal for NFCC) followed by, simply, 3rd-vs-2nd-seed-winner at 1 from '75-thru-'01 (e.g. '80 Buf@Clev-winner at SD; '86 SF@Chi-winner at NYG) and then, finally, '02-present simply being 4@1 vs 3@2 ('05 NE@Ind vs Cin@Den; '10 Sea@Atl vs Phi@Chi).

To start things off...we would have had Vikings in '75 waiting in the NFC catbird seat for Cards@Rams-winner; no "Hail Mary"! Nor Oilers in '78 & '79 (nor '80! no playoffs ever for Earl or Bum). '78 would have Steelers awaiting Den@NE-winner, '79 would be Dolphins@Steelers playing for a trip to the Murph!
