It seems the solution would be to make adjustments to how the fan survey works. The way it works now is a bit silly and makes normally fickle fans downright wishy washy. It is silly to think that fans react better if you lose the games at home and win on the road, but under the current system that is exactly what happens. I will make more revenue tanking home games and winning road games? My fans actually go for this?

This is meant to further discussion, not be reposted in suggestions (allready similar suggestions anyway). Fan survey needs to be less fickle and perhaps reflect the last several games instead of putting so much emphasis on the most recent game. Playoff road losses should have little or no effect. The way HCA is so dominant in this game anyway, how can fans expect a road playoff win?. If you want to destroy this whole '5th is better than 4th' rediculousness just have making the playoffs actually be beneficial to the fan survey as it should be

Think in real life if the Patriots decided to lose their last three games of the season because it is more financially viable. How would the fans react to that? Not the way they do in BB, thats for sure.

Fix this

The Bengals do this every year, sometimes long before they're even eligible for the playoffs.
