Through the 2008 season, since the NFL went to a 16 game regular season in 1978, the 2008 San Diego Chargers and the 1985 Cleveland Browns are the only two teams to have won a division title with an 8-8 record. Incredibly, since 1978 there have only been two 11-5 teams that did not make the playoffs. They were the 2008 New England Patriots and the 1985 Denver Broncos. The two seasons that have seen an 8-8 team win a division are also the two seasons that have seen an 11-5 team not make the playoffs.

Which team makes the playoff The team with the best overall record or the team with the best division record?
It depends upon the league/sport. In the NFL, for example, the team with the best overall record wins their division. In the event of a tie, the division record acts as the tiebreaker. I believe the best conference record wins the conference in NCAA Football, regardless of overall record. Then there are the league like the NHL, where a team earns 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or post regulation loss--with the team accumulating the most points winning their division/conference.

In most cases, the division winner with the best overall season record plays the wildcard team and the other two division winners play each other. But, in the case where the wildcard team and the division winner with the best overall record come from the same division, the division winner with the second overall best record plays the wildcard team and the division winner with the best overall record plays the division winner with the third best overall record. Confusing? Kinda, and kinda not really fair either, but MLB does not want two teams from the same division playing each other in the first round of the playoffs.
