There are several, including two cases where two 8-8 teams made the NFL playoffs, in one instance both won their wild card games. No 8-8 team has ever won a divisional round.
Here is a list of 8-8 teams to make the playoffs:
1990 New Orleans Saints: Lost 16-6 to Chicago in wild card game
1991 New York Jets : Lost 17-10 to Houston in wild card game
1999 Dallas Cowboys : Lost 27-10 to Minnesota in wild card game
1999 Detroit Lions : Lost 27-13 to Washington in wild card game
2004 Minnesota Vikings: Beat Green Bay 31-17 (lost 27-14 to Philadelphia in divisional round)
2004 St. Louis: Beat Seattle 27-20 (lost 47-17 to Atlanta in divisional round)
2005 New York Giants : Lost to Carolina 23-0 in wild card game
2008 San Diego Chargers : Beat Indianapolis 23-17 (lost 35-24 to Pittsburgh in divisional round)
2011 Denver Broncos : Won AFC West (three-way tie)
Beat Pittsburgh 29-23 OT (lost to New England 45-10 in divisional round)
Chicago Bears in 2021 (Yes this is true) they have an 8-8 currently in the wild card going against N.O Saints soon
Most teams get to make the playoffs at 8&8 if that is your question?
Yes the NHL playoffs are fair. The top 8 teams in each conference make it to the playoffs. It doesn't matter what team your own, it just matters if you made the top 8 teams. The playoffs are completely fair.
16 teams. 8 from the western conference and 8 from the eastern conference.
In a non-strike season prior to 2010 no team below .500 has made the playoffs. In 1982, a strike wiped out 7 games of the regular season and the NFL decided to allow 8 teams from each conference to make the playoffs in the hopes that the owners could recoup some of the lost money. Both the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions made the playoffs with a record of 4-5 and lost in the first round.
Between the 2000-2009 seasons, no team has made the playoffs every season. The Indianapolis Colts have made the playoffs in 9 seasons, the most of any team. 2001 was the only season in the past 10 that they didn't make the playoffs as their record was 6-10. The Philadelphia Eagles made the playoffs in 8 of those 10 seasons, missing out only in 2005 (6-10) and 2007 (8-8).
This is best answered in opposition to your question i.e. How do teams qualify for the playoffs? The 8 division winners and 2 wild card teams from each conference. Wild card teams are determined by the best overall winning percentage from the remaining (non division winning) teams.
That would have been during the strike season of 1982. Only 9 games were played during the regular season and the NFL expanded to playoffs to include 8 teams per conference. This was the only season a team with a winning percentage under .500 made the playoffs (the Lions and Browns were both 4-5). Since the NFL went to a 16 game schedule in 1978, other than the 1982 strike season the fewest games a playoff team has won is 8.
12 teams make it into the mls playoffs
The San Diego Chargers started there season 4-8 and they made it to the playoffs and won a playoff game
8
8 in the eastern conference and 8 in the western conference so a total of 16 teams make the playoffs ervy year
To make the nhl playoffs you have to be the top team in your division or in the top 5 teams in your conference besides the division champions. 8 teams are taken from each conference.
