A down year in the NFL?

[*Awful Llama*]

I am not a soccer person, but I know there are some on here that are, so I would like their thoughts on doing what some European leagues (all of them? One? I don't know...) do by having different tiers of competition within their league. We take the top 20 teams in the NFL and call them the "A" tier. The bottom 12, like us, would play in the "B" tier. And at the end of each season teams move up or down tiers based on their performance that season.

I'd bet we'd be a 6-3 team at this point in the B tier this year. Who Dey.
