NFL Tiebreaker Procedures

#6
(This post was last modified: 11-17-2017, 12:57 PM by Bullseye.)

As it stands now, we are currently the 3rd seed over KC and behind NE and Pittsburgh.

Here are the tie breakers for playoff seeding.  Though they are listed as the Wild card tiebreakers, they apply to the division winners/seeding.


Quote:TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

   If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
   If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs

   Head-to-head, if applicable.
   Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
   Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
   Strength of victory.
   Strength of schedule.
   Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
   Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
   Best net points in conference games.
   Best net points in all games.
   Best net touchdowns in all games.
   Coin toss.

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

   Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
   Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
   Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
   Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
   Strength of victory.
   Strength of schedule.
   Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
   Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
   Best net points in conference games.
   Best net points in all games.
   Best net touchdowns in all games.
   Coin toss

Applying the above to our current situation, we'd obviously be placed behind New England and Pittsburgh because they have better overall records by a game.  We'd currently be seeded ahead of KC if the playoffs started today, because of a better conference record (# 2 in two team tiebreaker).
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
