NFL Tiebreaker Procedures
|
As we proceed through the second half of the season at the very least tied for first place after this weekend, I thought now would be a good time to post the tiebreaker procedures in case when all is said and done, we end up with the same record as the tacks.
The complete tiebreaker procedures can be found here. https://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures For the purposes of this discussion I will discuss the most relevant tiebreaker to us, Divisional tiebreaker, two teams. Quote:TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION Naturally, it is my hope that the Jaguars have the division sewn up prior to week 17 so this doesn't matter. If not, naturally we'll need to win to win the division, if not outright, due to tiebreakers. So which of the tiebreakers could work to the Jaguars' advantage? It's impossible to definitively state at this point, given there are still seven games left to play. Nevertheless, we can start to speculate. Head to head is obvious. Will not discuss, other than to say as of now, Tennessee has the edge here if the teams are within a game of each other headed into the final week. We don't know about divisional record yet, since the NFL scheduling has changed to place a late season emphasis on divisional games. Currently, the Jaguars divisional record is 2-1 with wins over the Texans and Colts, but a loss to the tacks. The tacks are 2-1, with wins over the Jaguars and Colts and a loss to the Texans. The third tiebreaker-best W-L-T percentage within common games-might get interesting. We beat the Texans while they lost to the Texans. We beat the Steelers while they lost to the Steelers. We both beat Baltimore, and Cincinnati and Indy. There are still common games against the Browns, Rams, Cards and Seahawks remaining, but right now, the Jaguars have the edge in common games. As it currently stands, the Jaguars have the edge in tiebreaker #4, which is best W-L-T % in conference games. As of this post, which includes the tack loss in Pukesburgh, the tacks are 5-4 in conference games. The Jaguars currently sit at 6-2 heading into Sunday's game at Cleveland. Strength of victory..." refers to the combined winning percentages of the opponents that a particular team has beaten." Strength of schedule would then refer to the combined winning percentages of the opponents on a particular team's schedule. The tie breakers that could theoretically benefit the Jaguars the most at this point, the two net points tiebreakers, do not factor in directly until tiebreakers 9 & 10, though could theoretically play factor in 7 & 8 because the lopsided scores we earned/didn't earn will naturally impact the teams rankings in terms of points scored and allowed. It seems as though the tacks losing 57-14 to the Texans and 40-17 to Pittsburgh could theoretically help boost the ranking among conference/all teams in points scored and points allowed than the 44-7, 29-7, 27-0, and 30-9 wins we earned against the Ravens, Texans, Colts and Steelers, respectively, although because all of these games referenced above represent common games, it would effect both teams . But it's scary to think a team could somehow be awarded for being blown out of a game and another be penalized for blowing a team out if the blowout games were not to common opponents. To me, tiebreakers 7-8 should be lower in the order than 9 & 10. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
