    KC is already ahead of HOU so how do they swap places if KC wins out?

     

    Thank you. Got it. I see my error. I mean if KC loses tonight, and next week and HOU wins next week, they flip. I want them to lose of course.

     

    EDIT - I mean win, this no chance of playing us in the WC.

    Ok, I said BUF vs HOU was a lock. I was told it was not a lock. I then said 'good call' to the person who corrected me and then stated how it appears that KC could swap positions with HOU.

     

    Then there was a flurry of confusing posts.

    I think you may be confused.  Who do you prefer the Bills to play KC or HOU?

    Not quite.

     

    So, first off, I am not how sure how my preference can impact the outcome of the 2019 AFC playoff picture. That being said, I want the Bills to play HOU.

     

    Second, how am I confused or incorrect?

     

    I am eager to understand the mire in which I currently find myself.

     

    Thanks,

    Welcome to the Playoffs, Buffalo Bills!!

    By virtue of our record, yes. The point I'm making is that with the amount of talent on that roster, the fact that they could even sniff the playoffs was remarkable. That wasn't a playoff roster, by any means. But through coaching (and yes, a fair bit of heart) they were able to get there.

     

    Went ahead and fixed that for ya. Don't worry, no charge...

    My brother in law from Providence was here for Thanksgiving. He says he’s a BIG Patriots fan.....but if they ever had a losing record he’d just do something else.  THAT is what “a typical Patriots fan” is like.....

     

    There is a point during a wedding where they ask if anyone objects to the union. He is a Patriots fan and you remained silent?

    I'm right there with him. Let the butt hurt "offended" people B word all they want. I can't hear a word they say...

     

    Right there with him? Did you lose an 11mm 2020 contract?

    If this were to play out the first thing would be to break the tie for the division between Houston and Tennessee. I believe the only way Houston gets to 10 wins is to at least split with Tennessee, that would give Houston the division.

     

    Then the other 3 teams would go to conference record, where Pitt would take the 5 seed. But then it doesn't go to the next step. Once a team is seeded the remaining tied teams revert back to the first step of the 2-team format, where we would get the 6th seed having beaten Tennessee.

     

    I saw my mistake. I was looking at 4 teams for 2 WC spots. Its 3 as one wins the division. Assuming HOU wins the division, their 8-4 conf record no longer matters in the WC assessment. PIT would still have the highest conf record at 8-4 and lock seed 5. BUF beats TEN on head to head for 6th seed.

    In your scenario, the AFCS title would be resolved first. The Texans would win the South, and PIT would be awarded the 5 seed, BUF would be the 6 seed and TEN eliminated. So yes, win one and in for the Bills. 

     

    Saw your post after I realized my error...forgot to take out the division winner.

    None of that matters. the head to head ONLY matters if one team beats all of the others head to head, or if one team loses to ALL of the others head to head. That doesn't apply in this case because they didn't all even play each other. Buffalo does not play Houston. Thus, skip to the next tiebreaker, which is conference record.

     

    My post has nothing to do with head to head and everything to do with the conference record...

    Yes. If one of the four had swept the other three, that would come first. If not, then conference win %

     

    Ok, just ran the math. In the scenario where all 4 are 10-6, they will have the following conference records:

     

    BUF - 7-5 (win NYJ, loss PIT, loss NE)

    PIT - 8-4 (win BUF, win NYJ, loss BAL)

    HOU - 8-4 (win TEN, win TB, loss TEN)

    TEN - 7-5 (loss HOU, win NO, win HOU)

     

    So, unless I am not seeing something, we are NOT in a 'win and in' scenario yet.

    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.)

    1. 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.
    2. 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.)
    3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
    4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
    5. Strength of victory.
    6. Strength of schedule.
    7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
    8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
    9. Best net points in conference games.
    10. Best net points in all games.
    11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
    12. Coin toss

     

    God, could you imagine your season coming down to a freaking coin toss?

     

    Thanks for this, so guessing it is the conference win/loss. I didn't math that in my 4 way 10-6 tie.

    I posted this elsewhere, but def fits here:

     

    In various threads I am hearing both:

     

    1. Win one more game and we are in the playoffs!

    2. No, that's not true, it was said in error by the media!

     

    Which is it? There appears to be a path where HOU, TEN, PIT and BUF end up at 10-6. My understanding is that with a 3/4 way tie, head to head is not relevant.

     

    So, what factors guarantee us a playoff berth with one more win?

     

    I see many posters echoing the 'win and in', but no one seems to know how/why that can happen. At least it wasn't posted in this thread.
