    It's theoretically possible that an entire division could split their games with each other and lose to every other interdivisional opponent. The entire division would tie at 3-13, someone would not only win the tie breaker and make the playoffs, but actually have a home game in the first round to a superior opponent. This exact scenario may never happen, but the Seattle Seahawks did this at 7-9 a few years ago.

      Both, but it’s 11 other games now. 4 of them come from a different division in the same conference, 2 come from the other two divisions in the same conference that have the same placing as your team (ex: if you placed 2nd in your division, you’d play against the other two teams in that conference that placed second that you haven’t played against yet). Another 4 games come from an entire division of the opposite conference, while the last game comes from a different division from the opposite conference with a similar standing to your team.

      I know I'm late, but the team with the highest record gets the 1st seed, 2nd highest record gets 2nd seed, and so on. The video is already outdated though because now the 4 division champions from both conferences make the playoffs plus the 3 teams with the highest record from each conference instead of 2 teams. In the 1st round of the playoffs, the 7th seed will play the 2nd, 6th will play the 3rd, and 5th will play the 4th. That's seeding for ya. It's just a way to rank teams to determine who they play in the playoffs.

    So basically you're trying to say that the Steelers are going to lose to the Ravens of course and the Ravens going to lose Anna Patriots no way in hell we put fear in the Patriots Hall we made them piss on themselves Tom Brady was scared of a rookie

    Way too superficial of an explanation. The wildcard teams are not "2 next best teams" but rather the two best second-place division teams.

      @Christoph5782 4 년 전 +1

      You can have 3 teams from the same division make the playoffs though, as it is the 2 next best teams. That's why the Rams were still in the playoff hunt up until last week even though they could not take 2nd place from Seattle or San Fran, but could take the 6th seed from the Vikings

      @famweefood7073 3 년 전

      The problem with the Premier League is that it uses a Swiss Table, meaning that the lack of playoffs makes teams clinch the title 4 games before the end of the season. That makes for the last few weeks of play to be inconsequential.
