Constantly making the playoffs and losing in the first round gets old, just like constantly picking in the top 10 would get old. Just like seeing the same 3-4 teams from the AFC always in the Super Bowl gets old. Stagnation is boring, gimme some variety.
NFL ratings show this as well. NFL ratings have been dropping for years because of thing just like Pitt VS NE in the AFC game. Those 2 teams draw a lot of bandwagon love but people are sick and tired of seeing them
