popcornplaya Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Confrense record comes before common opponents in the division race NOT THE WILD CARDthanks.And in the wild card tie breaker, when there are 3 teams that are tied, the first place to go to break a tie is the divisional tie breaker rules if 2 of the teams are in the same division, so Tampa gets one spot. Then it's us versus Dallas, and Dallas has us on rule 4 or 5, don't remember the number, which is Strength of Victory, their opponents are better than our opponents, so their SOV is higher, and we're out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you do tampa bay v dallas, which I think is TB. Then you do dallas v atlanta, which is dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our games versus St. Louis and Philly and their games versus Seattle and Dallas. We both win out and they beat us on strength of victory. We've been over this about 3000 times.
