NFL Week 6- Current Playoff Seedings (AFC & NFC)

After all the Sunday day games, the playoff seedings are set (not dependent on the Sunday and Monday night games). If the season ended today, here is the playoff rankings, as determined by the NFL tiebreaking procedures. Any questions? E-mail me at 1davidtaub@gmail.com.

NFC
1- Green Bay (6-0)
North title

2- San Francisco (5-1)
West title

3- Tampa Bay (4-2)
Head-to-head (1-0) over New Orleans for South title; Strength of Victory (SOV) over New York [final numbers determined after Min/Chi game] for #3 seed

4- New York (4-2)
East title

5- Detroit (5-1)
Wild Card

6- New Orleans (4-2)
Wild Card

NOTES: a rarity, that only two tiebreakers are needed total, both for Tampa Bay. Tampa gets the nod over the Giants based on SOV, which will still be greater even if Minnesota (whom TB beat) loses, reducing its total SOV.

Matchups:
Wild Card: NO @ TB; Det @ NYG
Divisional: NO/Det/NYG @ GB; TB/Det/NYG @ SF

AFC
1- New England (5-1)
East title

2- Balitmore (4-1)
North title; SOV over San Diego for #2 seed [final figures to be determined after Mia/NYJ game]

3- San Diego (4-1)
West title


4- Tennessee (3-2)
South title

5- Cincinnati (4-2)
Division pct. (1.000, 1-0) over Pittsburgh (.000, 0-1) for top seed in North; Conference pct. (.800, 4-1) over Buffalo (.750, 3-1) and Oakland (.667, 4-2) for Wild Card

6- Buffalo (4-2)
Conference Pct. (.750, 3-1) over Oakland (.667, 4-2) and Pittsburgh (.600, 3-2) for Wild Card

NOTES: Both Baltimore's and San Diego's final SOV is dependent on the Mia/NYJ game, but either way, Baltimore will be higher. For Cincinnati, they first have to break the inter-division tie with Pittsburgh before being matched with the other 4-2 teams.

Matchups:
Wild Card: Buf @ SD; Cin @ Ten
Divisional: Buf/Cin/Ten @ NE; SD/Cin/Ten @ Bal

The draft order will be finalized after the Monday night game. Check back for more.
