Is there any fairness to this, a possible 7-9 team making the playoffs over a possible 10-6 team, either the Tampa Bay Bucs or New York Giants? Not really. Could it be exciting? Sure. How cool would it be for the casual fan to see the St. Louis Rams make a Super Bowl run, even though realistically there's not really a chance. That would sound weirder than the phrase "The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl!" of a couple of years ago.
While many fans may not mind it, this could be devastating to a city, in this case the those of the Giants or Buccaneers. Since their records are better, don't they deserve the spot? Well remember when Matt Cassel, in place of Tom Brady, led the Patriots to an 11-5 record, only to have them left out of the postseason after it was all said and done? It happens. Maybe the Giants shouldn't have let that Eagles game get away from them, or played better vs. Green Bay today. It's not like they didn't have chances.
